capo : 3rd fret

( verse 1 )
D
i was sittin’ there , sellin’ turnips on a flatbed truck
C
crunchin’ on a pork rind when she pulled up
G C A
she had to be thinkin “this is where rednecks come from”

( verse 2 )
D
she had hollywood written on her license plate
C
she was lost and lookin for the interstate
G C 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
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 ( one strum )
and a right will bring you right back here to me

( verse 1 chords )
D
i was sittin’ there , thinkin ’bout her perty face
C
kickin’ myself for not catching her name
G C D
i threw my hat and thought , you fool , it could have been love

( verse 2 )
D
i knew my old ford couldn’t run her down ,
C
she probably didn’t like me anyhow
G C D
so i watched her disappear into a cloud of dust

( chorus )

( bridge )
G A
is this georgia heat playin’ tricks on me
G A
or Am i really seein’ what i think i see
G A C
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

G A nc
thank god for good directions , and turnip greens
