CHINA GROVE - DOOBIE BROS

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
