China Grove -The Doobie Brothers
Written by ：Tom Johnston
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 talking '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 lying
When the sun goes falling down
They say that the father's insane
And there's missus perkin's again
We're talking 'bout the China Grove
Oh China Grove
But every day there's a new thing coming
In praise 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 looking to the east
Talking 'bout China Grove
Oh China Grove
