This Rodeo
City of Diamond, in Missouri
I've got two historic markers under me
Saw Neosho, an edict passed
Claiborne Jackson made it 12 states for the Rebs
Oohs
Saw a mansion, built by slaves
Owned by a Union sympathizer, town he shaped
Matthew Ritchey, Newtonia
Had a mill, a couple roads before the war
Oohs
Gas station coffee – windows down
Headed north to see the Jasper County town
Battle of Carthage, July of '61
Saw 5,000 troops engage before Bull Run
Oohs
Bloody Hill, at Wilson's Creek
Was where Nathaniel Lyon fell, Union retreat
A Volunteer, John Ray was blue
Enlisted a slave woman and her children too
Oohs
East to Springfield, Lyon enshrined
Next to the unmarked graves of men who fought both sides
But Sterling Price, a tower built, it said
'They fought for the right of self-government'
I don't know - I don't know
This rodeo's got no place to go
I don't know - I don't know
This rodeo's got no place to go
I don't know - I don't know
This rodeo's got no place to go
I've got two historic markers under me
Saw Neosho, an edict passed
Claiborne Jackson made it 12 states for the Rebs
Oohs
Saw a mansion, built by slaves
Owned by a Union sympathizer, town he shaped
Matthew Ritchey, Newtonia
Had a mill, a couple roads before the war
Oohs
Gas station coffee – windows down
Headed north to see the Jasper County town
Battle of Carthage, July of '61
Saw 5,000 troops engage before Bull Run
Oohs
Bloody Hill, at Wilson's Creek
Was where Nathaniel Lyon fell, Union retreat
A Volunteer, John Ray was blue
Enlisted a slave woman and her children too
Oohs

Next to the unmarked graves of men who fought both sides
But Sterling Price, a tower built, it said
'They fought for the right of self-government'
I don't know - I don't know
This rodeo's got no place to go
I don't know - I don't know
This rodeo's got no place to go
I don't know - I don't know
This rodeo's got no place to go
