Rosa Parks from Tuskegee made her mark in history A bus ride in Montgomery began the turning of a tide She wouldn't give her seat up to a white man in the front, you see She'd had enough and took a stand while sitting on a bus that day While sitting on a bus that day, she must have bugged the KKK "You'd have to sit in back," they'd say, but Rosa Lee would not be swayed She sat her ground and there she stayed until the sheriff came and said "I'll take you to your jail bed, who do you think you are?" I'm Rosa Parks, that's who I am Won't give my seat up to that man I worked all day, I'm tired and I'm Rosa Parks, that's who I am This was back in '55, and times have changed, she's still alive But so are those in ignorance who'd still keep others in their place But that's a risky P.R. plan, the image-makers told the Klan You'll have to clean your act up, and start moving with the times So very quietly one day, an application with three Ks Was filed with Missouri's Department of Transportation The Kluxes joined a civic plan, Adopt-A-Highway Program and They'd get their name up on a sign proclaiming their damn nation But modern folks in Missouri, 'specially at the D.O.T. Denied that application, so the K-boys had to make a plan They lawyered up and with a snort they won a judgment in the court Who said the state could not discriminate against the Klan So there it stands, that awful sign For one cursed mile of highway line But the people of Missour-i-ay They drew their own and had their say Now the joke is on the KKK They're cleaning up the newly christened "Rosa Parks Freeway" I'm Rosa Parks, that's who I am Won't give my seat up to that man I worked all day, I'm tired and I'm Rosa Parks, that's who I'm Rosa Parks, that's who I am
