[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
