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.

Two young people, without a thing Say some vows and spread their wings And settle with just what they need Living on love She don’t care ’bout what’s in style She just likes the way he smile It takes more than marvel and time Living on love
Living on love, buying on time Without somebody nothing ain’t worth a dime It’s like that old fashioned storybook rhyme Living on love It sounds simple that’s what you’re thinking Love can walk through fire without blinking It doesn’t take much, when you get enough Living on love
Two old people, without a thing Children gone but still they sing Side by side on that front porch swing Living on love
He can’t see anymore She can barely sweep the floor Hand in hand they walk through that door Just living on love
Living on love, buying on time Without somebody nothing ain’t worth a dime It’s like that old fashioned storybook rhyme Living on love It sounds simple that’s what you’re thinking Love can walk through fire without blinking It doesn’t take much, when you get enough Living on love
Living on love, buying on time Without somebody nothing ain’t worth a dime It’s like that old fashioned storybook rhyme Living on love It sounds simple that’s what you’re thinking Love can walk through fire without blinking It doesn’t take much, when you get enough Living on love No, It doesn’t take much, when you get enough Living on love

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?
