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