Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 I was sittin' there, sellin' turnips on a flatbed truck

 Crunchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up

 She had to be thinkin "this is where rednecks come from"

(verse 2)

She had Hollywood written on her license plate

She was lost and lookin for the interstate

Needin' directions and I was the man for the job

(chorus)

 I told her way up yonder past the caution light

 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

 And a right will bring you right back here to me

(verse 1 chords)

I was sittin' there, thinkin 'bout her perty face

Kickin' myself for not catching her name

I threw my hat and thought, you fool, it could have been love

(verse 2)

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)

(bridge)

 Is this Georgia heat playin' tricks on me

 Or am I really seein' what I think I see

 The woman of my dreams comin' back to me

(chorus chords)

She went way up yonder past the caution light

Don't know why, but somethin' felt right

When she stopped and asked Ms. Bell

For some of her sweet tea

Mama gave her a big ol' glass and

Sent her right back here to me

 Thank God for good directions, and turnip greens
