Seger, Bob - Nutbush City Limits Lyrics






There's a churchhouse, gin house, schoolhouse, outhouse
On the U.S. 19, hey the people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush, ahh Nutbush
Nutbush city, Nutbush city limits

25 is the speed limit, motorcycles not allowed in it
Go to town on Saturday, go to church every Sunday
Nutbush city, Nutbush city limits

No whiskey for sale, can't find a female
Salt pork and molasses, all your gonna get if you end in jail
Nutbush city, Nutbush city limits

Work the fields every weekday, have a picnic every Labor Day
Go in town on Friday, be in church every Sunday
Nutbush city, Nutbush city limit

A little old town, down in Tennessee

Quiet community, a real quiet southern community
Not much ever happens in Nutbush, ahh no
You can hear the corn grow,
Got to watch out for the police
Drivin' through nutbush
Better watch out for the police
Better watch out for the police
Keep an eye out for the police

Nutbush city limit, Nutbush city limit

    Ike Turner was a wife beater he is not entitled to respect

    +eyoung2289 Agreed

    e.... ....

    You've hit the nail on the head there, pity it can't happen, would be awesome though.!!

    e.... ....

    Are you serious? Bob Seger is no one's replacement! Uncle Bob is a legend in rock and roll in his own right. Besides, he's older than Brian Johnson.

    e.... ....

    dont be silly Bog Seger is no comparison to ACDC , what does she sing any way ?

    e.... ....

    so Tenn. and the videos  not good.. bobs voice is great!

  63. W.... ....

    I've always envisioned Bob doing a duet with Tina Turner on this song. They both did such great versions of this song... I never know why they didn't ...!

    W.... ....

    @Harold Mackie 
    ....Yeah but never a duet, they've never done it, and I have always wondered WHY. Would have been so awesome....Oh well...

    W.... ....

    the young sensation, courtney hadwin does it well

  64. E.... P....

    yeah ... good cover

  65. S.... B....

    good moments remembers

  66. b.... ....

    U got to be kidding-I'm laughing my ass off and loving it! 

  67. h.... ....

    I'd like to see Bob Seger and Tina Turner perform this together.

    h.... ....

    Ummmmmm... i think beth and joe is better i love beth hart

    h.... ....

    I would also

    h.... ....

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    h.... ....

    Absolutely !

    h.... ....

    Oh, man that would be AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  68. A.... D....

    I like it better than Tina's....

    A.... D....

    @Antonio Dias This is Tina's song but Bob knocked this cover out of the park.

  69. H.... D....

    great post fandust - love bob's and tina's version equally.  to summerandlightning - seger is one of the original 'balls to the wall' rockers!!!

  70. G.... S....

    Uncle Bob is correct on this one !

  71. w.... S....

    So Sexy, Bob's voice is so HOT!!! As much as Tina is a goddess!

    w.... S....

    You do know Tina Turner is a transgender he is a MAN. I’d rethink the goddess statement. Take an up close and personal look very obvious now as he ages.

  72. t.... ....

    I put both versions in my Tina playlist. It would've been great for them to do a duet version! But the "Live Bullet" version is better.. thanks for the upload!

  73. S.... I....

    one of his most underrated.

  74. P.... S....

    Seger is so phenomenal !!!

  75. m.... p....

    At one time I would have said somebody went to a lot of trouble to put this thing together here...But now then we do have stuff like Google Images.  Good job though. Hella tune!  Had this one on our setlist back in '75...grab your testicles hard and belt it!

  76. C.... H....

    This song is about Tina Turner (Anna Mae Bullock )'s home town.

  77. D.... ....

    I love this version but the original by Tina Turner is my favorite of all time

    D.... ....

    It is better but always wondered why he cut out the 3rd verse. He also shortened "Katmandu" on that album.

  78. p.... r....

    Saw Bob Seger at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in 1977. I went with friends, I'd never heard of him. He did NCL. Blew my f****** socks off. I adore Tina but this comes awful close.

  79. s.... f....

    their both great

  80. m.... ....

    cheers Limmy!

  81. M.... ....

    I've passed through their a few times. Takes you back baby. Even better when you're jamming to this. Just remember to turn it DOWN!!!!!!!!

  82. C.... R....

    The last time Bob was in OKC my wife tried to surprise me & my sons with tickets. But she bought some real crappie tickets. When we got there they had closed that section. They gave us sets right next to the stage. When Bob came over to the side where we were sitting. I could almost reach out and shake Bob's hand. I almost didn't go, but I had one of the best times of my life. I always wanted to see Bob in concert, he song this song.

  83. S.... D....

    RockChild239 Has made a good point about Tina's version,but,I agree with paula thomsen.both are very good though!!

  84. A.... Y....

    Great Tribute to Tina's song. But I prefer Tina's version. Maybe because she put her heart into writing the song about where she came from. Which was basically her life before she met Ike.

  85. p.... t....

    I like Bob's version so much better than Tina's...she's good, but Bob is Great!!!

  86. S.... N....

    I don't think I ever heard this before. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

  87. b.... ....

    Deborah,please check out Bob's first live album,"LIVE BULLET". Live versions of Bob's early recordings and some of his best songs ever,before he became a pop star.

  88. b.... ....

    thank you very much.

  89. b.... ....

    The original version is from Bob Seger's BEAUTIFUL LOSER album. Check out the live version from LIVE BULLET album also.

  90. b.... ....

    Hi,i'm in France on witch album i could find this song? thank you.

  91. J.... K....

    Would LOVE to get Tina's opionion of this song, No question Bob puts in AS MUCH SOUL as Tina if not more, Just listen to Live Bullets opening song, you'll then know what I'am talking about !!

  92. b.... ....

    Deborah,you need to listen to the live version from "Live Bullet".

  93. G.... A....

    The Bob Seager System!

  94. t.... ....

    It opens "Live Bullet", and it's hot! Would love to hear him do a duet with Tina!

  95. b.... ....

    I could ask you the very same question.

  96. b.... ....

    And there's a lot you don't know like the fact that "a lot" is two words. Typical Republican.

  97. b.... ....

    lotta youngsters just findin out..be kind
