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

With your head up in the clouds You try to win the race You're the leader of the pack Always The candle keeps burning from both ends Until it's blowing out with a bang When you think you know the game You don't know anything at all You cross the red line once again Free fall Hope you've learned your lesson well my friend 'Cause there will always be a second chance When you know where you come from You know where you're going Just because you're a child of your time When you know where you come from You back down for no one Just be true to yourself, it's your life With your head up in the clouds Your angels by your side Someone up there keeps your dreams Alive The candle keeps burning from both ends And the road calls your name once again When you know where you come from You know where you're going Just because you're a child of your time When you know where you come from You back down for no one Just be true to yourself, it's your life Just be true to yourself, it's your life And you keep driving down the highway of your life There is no exit sign at all There is a warning light that's flashing all the time And only you can stop your downfall When you know where you come from You know where you're going Just because you're a child of your time When you know where you come from You back down for no one Just be true to yourself, it's your life Just be true to yourself, it's your life Just be true to yourself, it's your life...

We used to never say never Used to think we live for ever Flying free beneath the sun Days go running and hiding The weeks are going slippy and sliding Years leave quicker everytime they come Remember when we were young Look back to the best days Collecting all yesterdays As they built up one by one How we beg and we borrow Say we do it tomorrow But tomorrow never seems to come We used to never say never Used to think we live for ever Flying free beneath the sun Days go running and hiding The weeks are going slippy and sliding Years leave quicker everytime they come Remember when we were young And we were boys on the beach Everything was in reach I know it's hard to remember And all had the years they vanish I always wanted to learn Spanish And travel round South-America We used to never say never Used to think we live for ever Flying free beneath the sun Days go running and hiding The weeks are going slippy and sliding Years leave quicker everytime they come Remember when we were young

Girls, don't forget your pearls And all of your horses As you make your way across the pond Girls, don't forget your curls And all of your corsets Memorize them in a little song Shake it up, throw your hands up and get loose Cut a rug, lean into the fuckin' youth Choreo, we just want the fuckin' truth (Told by the frightened) Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of America? Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of America? No, it's only the beginnin' If we hold on to hope, we'll have our happy ending When the world was at war before We just kept dancin' When the world was at war before We just kept dancin' Boys, don't forget your toys And take all of your money If you find you're in a foreign land Boys, don't make too much noise And don't try to be funny Other people may not understand Shake it up, throw your hands up and get loose Cut a rug, lean into the fuckin' youth Choreo, we just want the fuckin' truth (Told by the frightened) Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of America? Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of America? No, it's only the beginnin' If we hold on to hope, we'll have our happy endin' When the world was at war before We just kept dancin' When the world was at war before We just kept dancin' (And we'll do it again) Oh my god, dizzy from lovin' you (and we'll do it again) Oh my god, dizzy from lovin' you (we'll do it again) Did it from, did it from lovin' you (we'll do it again) In a world at war Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of America? Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of America? When the world was at war before We just kept dancin' When the world was at war before We just kept dancin' And we'll do it again And we'll do it again

Is this a gesture of love Or just a blade in your palm? I'll never know until the end of it all But I'll roll the dice once again Would you push me away again? Would you pull me back in again? Again I'll see you when the night comes I'll see you when the night comes I'll see you when the night comes Until we crash into the morning I'll see you when the night comes I'll see you when the night comes I'll see you when the night comes Let this night never end I can't explain what burns hot in my head But I keep coming back to you I can't leave you when you are rotting away Your roots are planted in my skin When the sky cracks tonight You'll be right by my side Screaming into a void It makes me churn with bliss And I can't seem to find Why you came to my life Fucking up everything I've done Hoping I'll see you again I'll see you when the night comes I'll see you when the night comes I'll see you when the night comes Until we crash into the morning I'll see you when the night comes I'll see you when the night comes I'll see you when the night comes Let this night never end (I'll see you when the night comes) when the sky cracks tonight (I'll see you when the night comes) you'll be right by my side (I'll see you when the night comes) screaming into a void (Until we crash into the morning) it makes me churn with bliss (I'll see you when the night comes) and I can't seem to find (I'll see you when the night comes) why you came to my life (I'll see you when the night comes) why you came to my life Let this night never end

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
