It's funny how easy it's always been (for me, anyway) to really ignore the words in certain classic rock songs. Yesterday I heard the Doobie Brothers song "China Grove" on the radio and it was the ONLY time I've ever paid any attention to ANY of the words - I'd heard the song many times, but first of all didn't even know it was the Doobie Brothers, and second, I didn't even know "China Grove" was what they were singing. I thought it was "China Dog," actually. Somehow I grew up hearing a lot of songs like that on autopilot - it didn't matter to me what the words were. So then I heard them mention Texas, and realized China Grove was a place in Texas. I just had to look it up, actually.
So, what the heck is this song really about, anyway?
Also, does anyone know of a safe lyrics site on the internet? I've found lyrics sites to be really unsafe as far as viruses, so I avoid them.
