Tuesday's Gone Lyrics
Won't you please take me far away?
Now I feel the wind blow outside my door,
Means I'm leaving my woman behind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My woman's gone with the wind.
I just want to be left alone.
Well, when this train ends I'll try again,
But I'm leaving my woman at home.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My woman's gone with the wind.
See, I'm riding my blues away.
Tuesday, you see, she had to be free
But somehow I've got to carry on.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My woman's gone with the wind.
I think this song means he's leaving the love of his life, but not because he stopped loving her. It sounds to me like he's leaving her BECAUSE he loves her. Maybe he knew that he couldn't treat her the way she deserved and she wasn't as happy as she could be. ANd he loves her so much that instead of being with her...he just wants her to be happy. And then he wants to just get away...he still loves her and he wants to be with her...and its painful because he knows that she won't be happy until he's gone from her life. The line "Tuesday, you see, she had to be free" I think helps reinforce my point. He just wanted her to be free, he didn't want her to feel trapped with him...he wants her to be happy. Amazing song, every time I hear it I get weird feelings because there is this girl I am really in love with... I want to be with her so bad...but I don't think I'm right for her...as badly as I want to be with her, I just want her to be happy, whether thats with me or another guy. Which is strange, I always made fun of movies that said corny lines like that...but I actually understand it now.
That what u write is true im in that feeling right now in this moment, after 7 years with my girl i have to left her alone, her feeling and love to me is not like before i mean 5 or 3 years ago, but i still love her so much, im crying like a baby when im writing this. listening to this song couple times its makes me feel better. Worst thing is that I cant do anything just "jump on train" and wait what time will bring to me. I hope she will be happy and she makes...

Worst thing is that I cant do anything just "jump on train" and wait what time will bring to me. I hope she will be happy and she makes her dreams come true. I will try to be like friend to her but it will be very difficult, right now i got a hope that maybe one day she will come back to me. Im little afraid what time will bring to me, Iam tough guy im not give up i will follow my dreams. hope You understand what i try to say my english is not so good. Kocham Cię Asiu podążaj za marzeniami... Michał
This was dubbed my song by my best friend. He got me addicted to Skynyrd a few years ago, and we went to see them last summer. They played Tuesday's Gone and I cried through the whole song because I was so impressed, and I got to see Skynyrd with my two best friends (they're brother and sister). I won't ever forget the moment the band started to play my song. It was the most amazing thing ever. I guess you can see where I got my screen name.
Anyway, if you've never listened to this song, I suggest you should. It's amazing, and beautiful.
While of course this song has to do with losing a love on one level, I would suggest that another valid interpretation of the song involves the death of the Old South. You can't help but notice the phrase "Gone with the Wind" (famous novel by Margaret Mitchell set in the Old South during the Civil War, and of course made into a classic motion picture). Very appropriate for a Lynyrd Skynyrd song I would say.
But don't take my word for it -- read some William Faulkner :) (especially The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying).
I love this song. 1st time I heard it was a coupke of days after my friend died. Heard it in the car while we went to the funeral home. It was one of his favorite songs. Ironically, he died on a Tuesday, which makes this song even more meaningful to me.
I will also associate this song with Happy Gilmour, great song and hilarious movie.
your joking right lol i do to but you spelled gilmore wrong

@Muzzy pay no mind to nuclear knife. He misspelled "You're," "I," and "Too." In addition to his punctuation or lack thereof, being atrocious! Btw, my son also associates this song with Happy Gilmore as well.

I don't think anyone got the meaning of this song right yet.
I think it's about leaving everything behind, just severing the umbilical cord of society, quitting your job, abandoning your loved ones for a greater cause, in order to travel without any particular goal, or in order to 'find' oneself perhaps. Sounds kinda gay but that was my impression of this song.
This song is about being forced to leave someone who no longer loves you but you are still madly in love with them. Giving that person the ability to have their space and you are forced to carry on with your life no matter how much it hurts. How you want to run as far as you can away but with the hopes that they will eventually come back around and when they do you will be willing to try it again.
"a she had to be free Somehow I got to, to carry on"
There you have it it's a big clue as to what's going on..... She's not in love with him or for whatever reason she wants, needs to be free he loves her but has to let her go and carry on maybe one day he'll try again for love but for now he's gotta get away from it all......
God, this song is wonderful. This version and the cover by Metallica is one of the best songs of independency I have ever heard. This song is one of my many anthems that I live for. Listen and feel.
an excellent tune - definitely one of rock n rolls finest. Takes me back to losin my 1st love,playin this song over and over sat in my room, thinking of her.This song always takes me back to her...
