《 The Doobie Brothers - China Grove 》

《 The Doobie Brothers - China Grove 》

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

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

They say that the father's insane

And dear missus Perkins a game

Were talkin bout the china grove

Oh, china grove

But every day theres 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

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

Talkin bout the china grove

Oh, china grove
