|
When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town |
|
Down around San Antone |
|
Said the folks are risin' for another day |
|
'Round about their homes |
|
The people of the town are strange |
|
And they're proud of where they came |
|
Well, I'm talkin' 'bout your China Grove |
|
[Incomprehensible], woah oh, China Grove |
|
The preacher and the teacher |
|
Lord, they're a caution, they are the talk of the town |
|
And when the gossip gets to flyin' and they ain't lyin' |
|
When the sun goes underground |
|
They say that the father's insane |
|
And dear Mrs. Perkin's a game |
|
Oh, talkin' 'bout your China Grove |
|
[Incomprehensible], woah oh, China Grove |
|
Every day there's a new thing comin' |
|
Ways of an oriental view |
|
The sheriff and his buddies with their Samurai swords |
|
You can even hear the music at night |
|
Though it's a part of the Lone Star State |
|
People don't seem to care |
|
They just keep on lookin' to the easy way |
|
Talkin' 'bout your China Grove |
|
[Incomprehensible], woah oh, China Grove |
|
I'm gonna tell ya now, yeah |
