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