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