歌詞
[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
The people of the town are strange
And they're proud of where they came
[Chorus]
Well, you talkin' 'bout the China Grove (Talkin' 'bout the China Grove)
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh
China Grove
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
They say that the father's insane
And dear Mrs. Perkin's a game
[Chorus]
We're talkin' 'bout the China Grove (Talkin' 'bout the China Grove)
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh
China Grove
[Bridge]
Every day, there's a new thing comin'
The ways of an oriental view
The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords
You can even hear the music at night
[Bridge]
And though it's a part of the Lone Star State
People don't seem to care
They'll just keep on lookin' to the east
[Chorus]
Talkin' 'bout the China Grove (Talkin' 'bout the China Grove)
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh
China Grove
