China Grove Lyrics - Best Of The Doobies - The Doobie Brothers

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 talkin' 'bout your China Grove 

(talkin' 'bout your china grove) 

Whoa, oh (whoa, oh) China Grove

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 underground 

They say that the father's insane 

And dear Mrs. Perkin's a game 

Well, talkin' 'bout your China Grove 

(talkin' 'bout your china grove) 

Whoa, oh (whoa, oh) China Grove 

But everyday there's 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 

Photos 

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 your China Grove 

(talkin' 'bout your china grove) 

Whoa, oh (whoa, oh) China Grove
