Good Directions

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was sitting there, selling turnips on a flat-bed truck Crunching on a pork rind when she pulled up She had to be thinking this is where rednecks come from She had "Hollywood" written on her license plate She was lost and looking for the Interstate Needing directions and I was the man for the job [Chorus] I told her, "Way up yonder past the caution lights There's a little country store with an old coke sign You gotta stop and ask "Miss" Bell For some of her sweet tea Then a left will take you to the Interstate But a right will bring you right back here to me" [Verse 2] I was sitting there, thinking about her pretty face Kicking myself for not catching her name I threw my hat and thought, "You fool, it could have been love" I knew my old Ford couldn't run her down She probably didn't like me anyhow So I watched her disappear into a cloud of dust [Chorus] I told her, "Way up yonder past the caution lights There's a little country store with an old coke sign You gotta stop and ask "Miss" Bell For some of her sweet tea Then a left will take you to the Interstate But a right will bring you right back here to me" [Verse 3] Is this Georgia heat playing tricks on me Or am I really seeing what I think I see The woman of my dreams coming back to me (Yeah) [Chorus] She went way up yonder past the caution light Don't know why, but something felt right When she stopped in and asked Miss Bell For some of her sweet tea Momma gave her a big ole glass And sent her right back here to me Thank God for good directions and turnip greens
