Tuesday Morning

Lyrics

[Intro: Ella Jenkins] Up and down this road I go Skippin' and a-dodgin' Skippin' and a-dodgin' Up and down this road I go Skippin' and a-dodgin' From a .44 [Verse 1: Melissa Etheridge] 10:03 on a Tuesday mornin' In the fall of an American dream A man is doin' what he knows is right On Flight 93 He loved his mom and he loved his dad He loved his home and he loved his man But on that bloody Tuesday mornin' He died an American [Chorus: Melissa Etheridge] Now you cannot change this You can't erase this You can't pretend this is not the truth [Interlude: Ella Jenkins] Up and down this road I go Skippin' and a-dodgin' Skippin' and a-dodgin' Up and down this road I go Skippin' and a-dodgin' From a .44 [Verse 2: Melissa Etheridge] Even though he could not marry Or teach your children in our schools Because who he wants to love Is breaking your God's rules He stood up on a Tuesday morning In the terror he was brave And he made his choice and without a doubt A hundred lives he must have saved [Chorus: Melissa Etheridge] Now you cannot change this And you can't erase this You can't pretend this is not the truth [Bridge: Melissa Etheridge] And the things you might take for granted Your inalienable rights Some might chose to deny him Even though he gave his life Can you live with yourself in the land of the free And make him less of a hero than the other three? Well, it might begin to change ya In a field in Pennsylvania [Chorus: Melissa Etheridge & Ella Jenkins] Now you cannot change this (Up and down this road I go) And you can't erase this (Skippin' and a-dodgin') Skippin' and a-dodgin' You can't pretend this is not the truth (Up and down this road I go) Skippin' and a-dodgin' From a .44 [Verse 3: Melissa Etheridge] Stand up, America Hear the bell now as it tolls Wake up, America It's Tuesday morning Come on, let's roll [Interlude: Ella Jenkins] Up and down this road I go Skippin' and a-dodgin' Skippin' and a-dodgin' Up and down this road I go Skippin' and a-dodgin' From a .44 [Chorus: Melissa Etheridge & Ella Jenkins] Now you cannot change this (Up and down this road I go) And you can't erase this (Skippin' and a-dodgin') Skippin' and a-dodgin' You can't pretend this is not the truth (Up and down this road I go) Skippin' and a-dodgin' From a .44 [Outro: Ella Jenkins & Melissa Etheridge] Up and down this road I go (Ooh) Skippin' and a-dodgin' Skippin' and a-dodgin' Up and down this road I go (Ooh) Skippin' and a-dodgin' From a .44
