china grove

• doobie brothersin 1973 tarihli "the captain and me" adli albumunden guzel kipir kipir bir sarki (bkz: hareketli calismalar).
  
  sozleri:
  
  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 theyre proud of where they came
  well, youre talkin bout china grove
  oh, china grove
  
  well, the preacher and the teacher
  lord, theyre a caution
  they are the talk of the town
  when the gossip gets to flyin
  and they aint lyin
  when the sun goes fallin down
  
  they say that the fathers 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 its a part of the lone star state
  people dont seem to care
  they just keep on lookin to the east
  
  talkin bout the china grove
  oh, china grove
• the captain and me albümde yer alan china grove'un bestesi tom johnston'a aittir. işin ilginç tarafı bu şarkının esin kaynağının texas'taki bir kasaba olmasıdır.
