Where were you when the world stopped turning on that October day? Were you in the yard with your wife and children? Or working on some stage in LA? 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 Cory Lidle's wife Who's husband was an idiot And pray for the other dudes who don't know? Did you rejoice for the fact that a Yankee died And sob for the other guy?
Did you burst out with pride For the red white and blue And Cory Lidle who died just doing what he 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 difference in Cory Lidle and Carl Pavano 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 turning on that October day? Teaching a class full of innocent children? Or driving down some cold interstate? Did you feel guilty cause you hate the Yankees And felt happy that he died? Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her? Did you dust off that Bible at home? Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened? Close your eyes and not go to sleep? Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages? Speak with 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 home movie you're watching And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns? Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers? 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 Did you do all of this just because a shitty Yankee pitcher died?

And a Yankee is dead And a Yankee is dead
