Joe Dirt movie - China Grove lyrics

Song by Doobie Brothers<br /><br>

When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town <br>

down around San Antone <br>

and the folks are risin' for another day <br>

'round about their homes. <br>

The people of the town are strange <br>

and they're proud of where they came. <br>

<br>

Well, you're talkin' 'bout China Grove, wo, oh, oh, <br>

oh, China Grove. <br>

<br>

Well, the preacher and the teacher, <br>

Lord, they're a caution, they are the talk of the town. <br>

When the gossip gets to flyin' and they ain't lyin'; <br>

when the sun goes fallin' down. <br>

They say that the father's insane <br>

and dear Missus Perkin's a game. <br>

<br>

We're talkin' 'bout the China Grove, wo, oh, oh, <br>

oh, China Grove. <br>

<br>

But ev'ryday there's a new thing comin', <br>

the ways of an oriental view. <br>

The sheriff and his buddies <br>

with their samurai swords, <br>

you can even hear the music at night. <br>

And though it's part of the Lone Star State <br>

people don't seem to care, <br>

they just keep on lookin' to the East. <br>

<br>

Talkin' 'bout the China Grove, oh, China Grove.<br>

<br>
