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, China Grove

I have actually been to Frognot, Texas. It's not too far from my home town. I seem to recall it had a population of about 5 people and 20 cows. :)

Texarkana, New Deal, are some other neat names.

We have some descriptive names for the Panhandle- Brownfield, Plainview.
