About Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson was born in the small town of Newnan, Georgia, on October 17, 1958. He grew up singing gospel music, both in church and at home with his family, and as a teenager he performed locally as part of a country duo. He left school to work and married his high-school sweetheart, Denise, who worked as an airline stewardess. In 1989, Jackson became the first artist signed to Arista’s new country division. Jackson’s debut album, Here in the Real World, was issued in 1990 and became a platinum-selling hit on the strength of four Top Five hits: the title cut, “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow,” “Wanted,” and the first of many chart-toppers, “I’d Love You All Over Again.” He shot to full-fledged superstardom with the follow-up, 1991’s Don’t Rock the Jukebox, whose title track was an inescapable number one smash that year.

Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) Lyrics

Where were you when the world stopped turnin’
That September day?
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
Or workin’ on some stage in L.A.?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Risin’ 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, they lost their dear loved ones
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?

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 diff’rence 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

Where were you when the world stopped turnin’
That September day?
Teachin’ a class full of innocent children
Or drivin’ 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 and tell her you love 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
And speak to some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and buy you a gun?
Did you turn off that violent old movie you’re watchin’
And turn on I Love Lucy reruns?
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Stand in line to give your own blood?
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love?

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 diff’rence 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
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 diff’rence 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 turnin’
On that September day?

I Told You So Lyrics

Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I want to come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think
I finally learned my lesson
And I’m tired of spending all my time alone

If I told you that I realize
You’re all I ever wanted
And it’s killing me to be so far away
Would you tell me that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say

I told you so
Oh, I told you so
I told you some day you’d come
Crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so
But you had to go
And now I’ve found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again

If got down on my knees
And told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old-time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began

Would you tell me that you’ve missed me too
And that you’ve been so lonely
And you’ve waited for the day that I return
And we’d live and love forever
And that I’m your one and only
Or would you say the table’s finally turned

Would you say I told you so
Oh I told you so
I told you someday you’d come
Crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so
But you had to go
And now I’ve found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again

And now I’ve found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again

Blue Ridge Mountain Song

Alan Jackson

He met her in the fall of ’93 in the hills of Tennessee
She was barely 17, he was tall and strong and lean
They were deep in love by June
Hand in hand beneath that moon

And she’d sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
And he’d just hum along
And they’d dance all night ’til dawn
On a hillside all alone
They were young and they were free
Like a mountain melody
In love as they could be
Singing that Blue Ridge song

She married in her mama’s wedding gown
Bought a house and settled down
He worked driving all around
Hauling logs from town to town
And he’d come home every night
And she’d be waiting in the front porch light

And she’d sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
And he’d just hum along
They’d dance all night till dawn
On the front porch all alone
They were young and they were free
Like a mountain melody
In love as they could be
Singing that Blue Ridge song

They couldn’t tell him what was wrong
But they just didn’t know
It wasn’t very long ’til Jesus called her home
And he got down on his knees
Said, “God, don’t take my love from me”Just let her sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
Like she has all along
And I’ll dance with her ’til dawn
On a hillside all alone
And we’ll spend eternity like a mountain melody
In love as we can be
Singing that Blue Ridge song

Now he lives there all alone
In the house that they called home
In his heart there lies a void
From the absence of her voice
And he lays down every night
Dreams about that front porch light

Where she’d sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
He’d just hum along
They’d dance all night until dawn
On the hillside all alone
They were young and they were free
Like a mountain melody
In love as they could be
Singing that Blue Ridge song

Little Blue Ridge Mountain song (singing that blue ridge song)
Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song (singing that Blue Ridge song)
Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song (singing that Blue Ridge song)
Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
Little Blue Ridge Mountain song
