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