Tuesday Morning

[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'
