Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings

Daddy was a cop on the east side of Chicago
Back in the USA, back in the bad old days

Well, the Southside of Chicago is the baddest part of town...

They call it Nutbush
Oh, Nutbush
I said they call it Nutbush city limits
Nutbush city
A little old town in Tennessee
Quiet little old community
One-horse town
You got to watch what they're putting down

I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin',
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee,
They're always having a good time down on the bayou, Lord
Them Delta women think the world of me.

My friend Gary ran a market way down in Tennessee
Where the farmers got together and talked about this great country
But when the government turned its back on the farmer
Man, what I hear is they dragged the pumps out of the ground
With a big vintage John Deere
Well, I have soldiers on my payroll
Standing guard on my front drive
Snipers on my roof poised at those who didn't want me alive
'Cause they audited my taxes
And my family under threat
'Cause I had a message and a megaphone
And I'll scream it to the death, yeah

I can saw a woman in two
But you won't want to look in the box when I do
I can make love disappear
For my next trick I'll need a volunteer
