Annotationen

Ein Funk-Stomper über die engen Grenzen der bis dahin unbedeutenden amerikanischen Kleinstadt Nutbush, dem Heimatort von Anna Mae Bullock, die damals bereits seit mehr als zehn Jahren als Tina Turner bekannt war.
Der Titel war ein riesiger Hit in Europa (UK: #4, D: #2, CH: #2, A: #1), während er in den USA lediglich #11 in den Billboard R&B Singles Chart und #22 in den Billboard Hot 100 erreichte.
«Nutbush City Limits» war der letzte Titel von Ike And Tina Turner. Danach trennte sich das Paar.

Lyrics

A church house gin house A school house outhouse On highway number nineteen The people keep the city clean They call it nutbush, oh nutbush They call it nutbush city limits Twenty-five for the speed limit Motorcycle not allowed in it You go to store on Fridays You go to church on Sundays They call it nutbush, oh nutbush They call it nutbush city limits You go to the fields on weekdays And have a picnic on Labor Day You go to town on Saturdays And go to church every Sunday They call it nutbush, oh nutbush They call it nutbush city limits No whiskey for sale If you get caught no bail Salt pork and molasses Is all you get in jail They call it nutbush, oh nutbush They call it nutbush Nutbush city limits A little old town in Tennessee A quiet little community A one-horse town You have to watch what you're putting down
