Backstory:

I hosted a 9/11 event last Sept. During my introduction I happened to mention how much our country came together beginning the day after 9/11. The thought has stuck with me since then and I mentioned it to my great friend and co-writer, Bucky Jones. We decided to write it.

Lyrics:

                                                  
I Sure Miss 9/12

Twin towers turned to rubble and ashes from the planes
Our hearts were like one, bursting from the pain
Evil men thought they could tear us all apart
They hit a couple targets, but they sure missed their mark

(Chorus)
Our spirits soared like eagles flying high
Never seen us come together
And be more unified
Politicians arm and arm
Didn't matter what their stripes
Average Joe's becoming heroes
A million flags waving with pride
Somehow it's all gone to hell
Man, I sure miss 9/12

Now everybody’s angry at everybody else
We’re busy pointin’ fingers, never blaming ourselves
It shouldn't take a war to get us back on track
When all we’ve gotta do is have each others back

Repeat chorus

Our Pentagon still stands wide and proud
Flight 93 in Shanksville lies on sacred ground
Bet those terrorists were shaking in their souls	
When that patriot stood up and yelled “let’s roll”

Repeat chorus (break down)

I pray someday with God’s help
We’ll get back to how were on 9/12
