[Intro]
E G#m A B E
[Verse]
E
I was sittin' there, sellin' turnips on a flatbed truck
G#m
Crunchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up
A
She had to be thinkin "this is
B E
where rednecks come from"
[Verse]
E
She had Hollywood written on her license plate
G#m
She was lost and lookin for the interstate
A B E
Needin' directions and I was the man for the job
[Chorus]
A B
I told her way up yonder past the caution light
A B
There's a little country store with an old coke sign
A B C#m
You gotta stop and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
A B
Then a left will take you to the interstate
A B~ E \
And a right will bring you right back here to me
[Verse]
E
I was sittin' there, thinkin 'bout her perty face
G#m
Kickin' myself for not catching her name
A B E
I threw my hat and thought, you fool, it could have been love
[Verse]
E
I knew my old Ford couldn't run her down,
G#m
she probably didn't like me anyhow
A B E
So I watched her disappear into a cloud of dust
[Chorus]
A B
I told her way up yonder past the caution light
A B
There's a little country store with an old coke sign
A B C#m
You gotta stop and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
A B
Then a left will take you to the interstate
A B~ E
And a right will bring you right back here to me
[Bridge]
A B
Is this Georgia heat playin' tricks on me
C#m B
Or am I really seein' what I think I see
A B C#m B A
The woman of my dreams comin' back to me
[Interlude]
E G#m A B E
[Verse]
A B
She went way up yonder past the caution light
\(
A)
B
Don't know why, but somethin' felt right
A B
When she stopped and asked Ms. Bell
C#m
For some of her sweet tea
A
Mama gave her a big ol' glass and
B E
Sent her right back here to me
[Outro]
A B \
E
Thank God for good directions, and turnip greens
