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