Capo: 3rd Fret 

(verse 1) 
                    D5 
I was sittin' there, sellin' turnips on a flatbed truck 
  F#5 
Crunchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up 
   G5                            A5                   B5 
She had to be thinkin "this is where rednecks come from" 

(verse 2) 
D5 
She had Hollywood written on her license plate 
F#5 
She was lost and lookin for the interstate 
G5                      A5                    D5 
Needin' directions and I was the man for the job 

(Chorus) 
           G5                        A5 
I told her way up yonder past the caution light 
           G5                           A5 
There's a little country store with an old coke sign 
           G5                  A5                       B5 
You gotta stop and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea 
      G5                         A5 
Then a left will take you to the interstate  
      G5                    A5 (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) 
        G5                     A5 
Is this Georgia heat playin' tricks on me 
     B5                       A5 
Or am I really seein' what I think I see 
   G5               A5               B5 A5 G5 
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 
 

        G5                 A5             N/C/ 
Thank God for good directions, and turnip greens
