Tuesday Morning - Melissa Etheridge

10:03 on a Tuesday morning

In the fall of an American dream

A man is doing 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 morning

He died an American

Now you cannot change this

You can’t erase this

You can’t pretend this is not the truth

(Up and down this road I go)

(Skippin' and dodgin')

(Skippin' and dodgin')

(Up and down this road I go)

(Skippin' and dodgin')

(From a 44)

Even though he could not marry

Or teach your children in our schools

Because who he wants to love

Is breaking your Gods' 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

Now you cannot change this

You can’t erase this

You can’t pretend this is not the truth

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

Now you cannot change this

(Up and down this road I go)

And you can’t erase this

(Skippin' and dodgin')

(Skippin' and dodgin')

You can’t pretend this is not the truth

(Up and down this road I go)

(Skippin' and dodgin')

(From a 44)

Stand up America

Hear the bell now as it tolls

Wake up America

It’s Tuesday morning

Come on, let’s roll

(Up and down this road I go)

(Skippin' and dodgin')

(Skippin' and dodgin')

(Up and down this road I go)

(Skippin' and dodgin')

(From a 44)

Now you cannot change this

(Up and down this road I go)

And you can’t erase this

(Skippin' and dodgin')

(Skippin' and dodgin')

You can’t pretend this is not the truth

(Up and down this road I go)

(Skippin' and dodgin')

(From a 44)

(Up and down this road I go)

Ooh…

(Skippin' and dodgin')

(Skippin' and dodgin')

(Up and down this road I go)
