Tuesdays' Gone
Lynard Skynard Lyrics

Train roll on, on down the line,
The train is moving forward, taking the singer away from his current location.

Wont you please take me far away?
The singer is asking the train to take him on a long journey far from his troubles.

Now I feel the wind blow outside my door,
The singer is aware of the physical sensation of wind blowing as he prepares to leave.

Means Im leaving my woman behind.
The wind signals that the artist is leaving his significant other.

Tuesdays gone with the wind.
The memory of past happiness with his partner is now being carried away in the wind.

My womans gone with the wind.
The singers' partner is no longer in his life.

And I dont know where Im going.
The singer is unsure of his destination, perhaps indicating the aimlessness he feels without his partner.

I just want to be left alone.
The grief is deeply felt and the artist wishes to isolate himself to process it.

Well, when this train ends Ill try again,
The artist accepts that his healing process may take time and he will keep attempting to move forward.

But Im leaving my woman at home.
The artist is struggling to balance his need to leave his troubles behind with the longing to be with his partner.

(chorus)
The refrain repeats the central idea that Tuesdays and his partner are both gone with the wind.

Train roll on many miles from my home,
The artist emphasizes how far he is traveling from his initial starting point.

See, Im riding my blues away.
The singer hopes that the distance from his partner will ease his sorrow and pain.

Tuesday, you see, she had to be free
The singer acknowledges that his partner needed to leave and move on from the relationship.

But somehow Ive got to carry on.
The singer is grappling with feelings of sadness and an awareness that he must continue living his life.

(chorus)
The chorus is repeated to drive home the central theme of Tuesdays and the artists partner being gone forever.
