Nutbush City Limits

(Tina Turner cover)



A church house, gin house

A school house, outhouse

On highway number 19

The people keep the city clean

They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush

Call it Nutbush city limits



25 for the speed limit

Motorcycles not allowed in it

You go to store on Friday

And church on Sunday

They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush

Call it Nutbush city limits



You go to fields on the weekdays

And have a picnic on Labor Day

You go to town on Saturday

And church every Sunday

They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush

Call it Nutbush city limits



No whiskey for sale

You get drunk, no bail

Salt pork and molasses

Is all you get in jail

They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush

Call it Nutbush city limits



A little old town in Tennessee

A quiet little community

It's just a one horse town

You better watch what you're puttin' down

In Nutbush, old Nutbush

Call it Nutbush city limits
