China Grove Lyrics

When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town down around San Antone
And 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 you're talkin' 'bout China Grove, Oh oh China Grove
Well, the preacher and the teacher, Lord, they're a caution, they are the talk of the town
When the gossip gets to flyin' and they ain't lyin' when the sun goes fallin' down
us4
They say that the father's insane and dear Missus Perkin's a game
But ev'ry day there's a new thing comin' the ways of an oriental view
The sheriff and his buddies with their samuari swords, you can even hear the music
us4
at night.
And though it's a part of the Lone Star State people don't seem to care,
They just keep on lookin' to the East.
