There's a church house, gin house
School house, outhouse
On US 19
Hey, the people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush
Ah, Nutbush
Nutbush city
Nutbush city limits

25 is the speed limit
Motorcycles not allowed in
Go to town on Saturday
Go to church every Sunday
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
Nutbush city
Nutbush city limits

Say it again!

Little old town, oh, down in Tennessee:
A quiet little ol' community
A real quiet, real southern community
Nothing much ever happens in Nutbush
You can hear the corn grow

You got to watch out for the police
You're driving through Nutbush
You better watch out for the police
If you're driving through Nutbush
You got to watch out for the police
Eye for the police
Keep an eye for the police
Keep an eye for the police
Eye for the police!
Oh!

Nutbush city limits!
Nutbush city limits!
Nutbush city limits!
Stay alive!

Robert Clark “Bob” Seger (born May 6, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist. As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
