Bob Seger - Nutbush City Limits Lyrics

Bob Seger Lyrics

"Nutbush City Limits"
(originally by Tina Turner)

There's a church house, gin house
Schoolhouse, outhouse
On U.S. 19
Hey, the people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush
Ah, Nutbush

Nutbush city
Nutbush city limits

Twenty-five is the speed limit
Motorcycle not allowed in it
Go to town on Saturday
Go to church every Sunday
Ah, up in
Up in

Nutbush city
Nutbush city limits

No whiskey for sale
Can't find a female
Salt pork and molasses
All you gonna get if you end in jail
In
In

Ah, Nutbush city
Nutbush city limits
Say it again
Oh

Work fields on a weekday
Have a picnic every Labor Day
Go in town on Friday
Be in church every Sunday
Oh, up in
Up in

Nutbush city
Nutbush city limits

Little old town, oh, down in Tennessee
Quiet little ol' community
A real quiet, little southern community
Nothing much ever happens in Nutbush
No, no
You can hear the corn grow
Ah, you got to watch out for the police
You driving through Nutbush
You better watch out for the police
If you're driving through Nutbush
You better watch out for the police
Eye out for the police
Keep an eye out for the police
Keep an eye out for the police
Eye out for the police
Oh hey

Nutbush city limits
Nutbush city limits
Nutbush city limits
Stay alive
