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