"Tuesday Morning" lyrics

"Tuesday Morning"

(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)

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 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

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)
(Skippin' and dodgin')
(From a 44)
