Good Directions

By: Billy Currington


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"


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 in 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


I was sittin' there thinkin' 'bout her pretty face


Kickin' myself for not catchin' her name


I threw my hat and thought, "You fool, that could've been love"


I knew my old Ford couldn't run her down


She probably didn't like me anyhow


So I watched her disappear in a cloud of dust.


[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 in 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


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


She went way up yonder past the caution light


Don't know why, but somethin' felt right


When she stopped in and asked Miss 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
