[00:26.481]When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
[00:30.012]Down around San Antone
[00:32.933]And the folks are risin' for another day
[00:36.120]'Round about their homes
[00:39.238]The people of the town are strange
[00:42.256]And they're proud of where they came
[00:47.334]You talkin' 'bout your China Grove
[00:50.136]Whoa, oh (whoa, oh) China Grove
[00:59.542]Well the preacher and the teacher
[01:01.760]Lord, they're a caution
[01:03.089]They are the talk of the town
[01:06.057]When the gossip gets to flyin' and they ain't lyin'
[01:09.510]When the sun goes fallin' down
[01:12.730]They say that the father's insane
[01:15.464]And dear Mrs. Perkin's a game
[01:20.620]Talkin' 'bout your China Grove
[01:23.017]Whoa, oh (whoa, oh) China Grove
[01:33.189]But everyday there's a new thing comin'
[01:36.220]The ways of an oriental view
[01:38.985]The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords
[01:42.564]You can even hear the music at night
[01:49.095]Though it's a part of the Lone Star State
[01:52.079]People don't seem to care
[01:55.111]They just keep on lookin' to the east
[02:52.594]Talkin' 'bout your China Grove
[02:54.985]Whoa, oh (whoa, oh) China Grove
