Alibi - Dirt Poor Robins

Stand back, step away from the radio

It’s filling with smoke and all the songs of tote

Leave it alone

Have a glance, there’s no chance

That it might be saved

Surrounded by flies, no chance for enterprise

Dig it a grave

Now I’ve got an alibi for you were with me on the night the music died

My name is clear, no need to hide

For I’ve come to testify that all these facts are verified

The music died, we’re all victims of this crime

Here come the lawyers, they’re getting ready to make their case

They plan to litigate, carry on a long debate, and hold back the pace

But soon their heads bow as they wonder how this could be and who is to blame

Why did we hesitate, let it fall so out of date?

Ain’t it a shame?

Now I’ve got an alibi for you were with me on the night the music died

My name is clear, no need to hide

For I’ve come to testify that all these facts are verified

The music died, we’re all victims of this crime

Remember long ago when tubes would glow

Our minds would blow, and rock would roll

It fed your soul

They claimed that video had killed you then

That’s what they said, but now we know

You were scared to death, instead

Now I’ve got an alibi for you were with me on the night the music died

My name is clear, no need to hide

For I’ve come to testify that all these facts are verified

The music died, we’re all victims of this crime
