7. “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning),” by Alan Jackson; 2001
Dedicated to 9/11, this song questions where people were and their reactions to the senseless tragedies that occurred on that infamous day.
Patriotic Lyric: “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 risin’ against that blue sky?”
