Nutbush City Limits (Ike & Tina Turner cover) Lyrics

A church house gin house
A school house out house
On highway number nineteen
The people keep the city clean
They call it
Nutbush oh Nutbush
Call it Nutbush city limits

Twenty-five was the speed limit
Motorcycles not allowed in it
You go to the store on Friday
You go to church on Sunday
They call it
Nutbush oh nut bush
Call it Nutbush city limits

You go to the fields on weekdays
And have a picnic on Labor Day
You go to town on Saturday
But go to the church every Sunday
They call it
Nutbush oh Nutbush
Call it Nutbush city limits

No whiskey for sale
You can't cop no bail
Salt pork and molasses
Is all you get in jail
They call it
Nutbush oh Nutbush
Call it Nutbush city limits

Little old town in Tennessee
That’s called a quiet little old
community
A one-horse town you have to
watch
What you're puttin' down in old
Nutbush
They call it
Nutbush oh Nutbush
Call it Nutbush city limits

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
