Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) Lyric Alan Jackson DRIVE

Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)
Where were you when the world
stopped turning on that September day?
Were you in the yard with your wife
and children
Or working on some stage in L.A.?
Did you stand there in
shock at the sight of that black smoke
Rising against that blue sky?
Did
you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down
and cry?

Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones

And pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people who
walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out
with pride for the red, white and blue
And the heroes who died just doin'
what they do?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look
at yourself and what really matters?
CHORUS (1x)
Where were you when the
world stopped turning on that September day?
Teaching a class full of
innocent children
Or driving down some cold interstate?
Did you feel
guilty cause you’re a survivor
In a crowded room did you feel alone?
Did
you call up your mother to tell her you loved her;
Did you dust off that
Bible at home?

Did you open your eyes and hope it never
happened,
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset
for the first time in ages,
Speak to some stranger on the street?
Did you
lay down at night and think of tomorrow,
And go out and buy you a gun?
Did
you turn off that violent ol movie you’re watchin And turn on I Love Lucy

reruns?

Did you go to a church and hold hands with some
strangers
or stand in line and give your own blood?
Did you just stay home
and cling tight to your family,
Thank God you had somebody to love?

CHORUS 2x

CHORUS
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a
real political man;
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The
difference in Iraq and Iran.
But I know Jesus, and I talk to God,
And I
remember this from when I was young:
Faith, hope, and love are some good
things He gave us,
And the greatest is love.

And the greatest is
love.
And the greatest is love.

Where were you when the world stopped
turning on that September day?
