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