Good Directions Lyrics
I was sittin' sellin' turnips on a flatbed truck
Crunchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up
She had to be thinkin' "This is where the 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 Belle 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 coulda 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 Belle 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 and asked Miss Belle 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
Crunchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up
She had to be thinkin' "This is where the 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
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 Belle 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
Kickin' myself for not catchin' her name
I threw my hat and thought, "You fool, that coulda 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.
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 Belle 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
Or am I really seein' what I think I see
The woman of my dreams comin' back to me
Don't know why, but somethin' felt right
When she stopped and asked Miss Belle for some of her sweet tea
Mama gave her a big 'ol glass and sent her right back here to me

This song is so, so cute. I love it. It's very obvious about the meaning, I mean you can't make it anymore simple-ier. It would be better if it was this Texas heat though.
This song's adorable. Again, the meaning's obvious, but it's such a sweet song. I love it, too.
Wow I love love love this song! It's so cute and just has such a good vibe to it. When I listen to it, it puts me in a better mood.
Once again the meaning is obvious but still such a great song.
