Doobie Brothers - China Grove Lyrics
Tom johnstonWhen the sun comes up on a sleepy little townDown around san antoneAnd the folks are risin for another dayround about their homesThe people of the town are strangeAnd theyre proud of where they cameWell, youre talkin bout china groveOh, china groveWell, the preacher and the teacherLord, theyre a cautionThey are the talk of the townWhen the gossip gets to flyinAnd they aint lyinWhen the sun goes fallin downThey say that the fathers insaneAnd dear missus perkins a gameWere talkin bout the china groveOh, china groveBut every day theres a new thing cominThe ways of an oriental viewThe sheriff and his buddiesWith their samurai swordsYou can even hear the music at nightAnd though its a part of the lone star statePeople dont seem to careThey just keep on lookin to the eastTalkin bout the china groveOh, china grove
