China Grove (with Chris Young)

China Grove (with Chris Young) - The Doobie Brothers

When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town

Down around San Antone

And the folks are rising 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 flying

And they ain't lying

When the sun goes falling down

They say that the father's insane

And dear missus Perkins a game

Were talking 'bout the china grove

Oh china grove

But every day theres a new thing coming

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 looking to the east

Talking 'bout the china grove

Oh china grove
