"Tuesday's Gone" is the second track on Lynyrd Skynyrd's first album, "(pronounced 'lĕh-'nérd 'skin-'nérd)". One of the band's most popular songs, its relaxing pace and serenading guitars have made it a fan staple. The lyrics, featuring themes of a relationship ending because of extensive touring, are similar in mood to the band's signature tune "Free Bird". The distinct introduction to the song features a mellotron, played by Al Kooper.[citation needed]
The song is memorably featured in the film Dazed and Confused, during the scene where a party winds down and the lucky and luckless people go home, its bitter sweet tone attempting to capture the mood. The movie Happy Gilmore also included the song, which plays during the opening and ending credits. Also, Tuesday's Gone is featured in the biography movie Prefontaine about Steve Prefontaine. The song is playing during the scene where Pre encounters an ex girlfriend for whom he still has feelings.
