Tom johnston<br><br>When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town<br>Down around san antone<br>And the folks are risin' for another day<br>'round about their homes<br><br>The people of the town are strange<br>And they're proud of where they came<br>Well, you're talkin' 'bout china grove<br>Oh, china grove<br><br>Well, the preacher and the teacher<br>Lord, they're a caution<br>They are the talk of the town<br>When the gossip gets to flyin'<br>And they ain't lyin'<br>When the sun goes fallin' down<br><br>They say that the father's insane<br>And dear missus perkin's a game<br>We're talkin' 'bout the china grove<br>Oh, china grove<br><br>But every day there's a new thing comin'<br>The ways of an oriental view<br>The sheriff and his buddies<br>With their samurai swords<br>You can even hear the music at night<br><br>And though it's a part of the lone star state<br>People don't seem to care<br>They just keep on lookin' to the east<br><br>Talkin' 'bout the china grove<br>Oh, china grove
