Oh, God. I'm glad I'm not the only one who will stay in the car and finish listening to the whole song, even if I'm running late.

The two lines I always sing really loud is: "Oh, and there we were all in one place/A generation lost in space/With no time to start again" and "And as I watched him on the stage/My hands were clenched with fists of rage." I don't know why those two lines always stood out for me, but they did.

But, yeah, 'American Pie' is kind of like that, isn't it? You could go ages and ages not thinking about it and wham you hear it and all those memories come flooding right on back.
