lyrics

He sat behind the drum kit
Made everybody smile
Liked heavy metal music
Drivin’ young girls wild
Never saw the headlights
As he pulled into the lane
Only seconds later
He’d never play again

The day the drummer died
Everybody cried
Everybody cried
The day the drummer died

They all came for the funeral
To pay their last respects
Line around the block
Biggest crowd yet
Put him in the ground
Drumsticks in his hand
Say he’s up there playing
In heaven in a band

The day the drummer died
Everybody cried
Everybody cried
The day the drummer died
The day the drummer died
Everybody cried
Everybody cried
The day the drummer died

[Lead]

They still talk about him
He would have been a star
If he didn’t get behind
The wheel of that car
Put him in the ground
Drumsticks in his hand
They say he’s up there playing
In heaven in a band
