Capo: 3rd Fret
[VERSE 1]
I was sittin' there,[D] sellin' turnips on a flatbed truck
Cr[F#m]unchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up
She[G] had to be thinkin "this[A] is where rednecks c[Bm]ome from"
[VERSE 2]
[D]She had Hollywood written on her license plate
[F#m]She was lost and lookin for the interstate
[G]Needin' directions and [A]I was the man for the[D] job
[CHORUS]
I told her [G]way up yonder past the ca[A]ution light
There's a l[G]ittle country store with an [A]old coke sign
You gotta s[G]top and ask Miss Be[A]ll for some of her sweet[Bm] tea
Then a[G] left will take you to the[A] interstate
[G] [A] (one strum)
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 [G]Georgia heat playin' t[A]ricks on me
Or am[Bm] I really seein' what I t[A]hink I see
The[G] woman of my dre[A]ams comin' back [Bm]to [A]me[G]
(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
[G] [A] NC
Thank God for good directions, and turnip greens
