(verse 1)
                    
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 
                           (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 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
