Verse 1:

I was sittin' there, sellin' turnips on a flat-bed 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 jo

Chorus 1:

I told her, "Way up yonder past the caution lights
There's a little country store with an old COKE sign
You gotta stop in and ask "Miss" Beth
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"

Verse 2:

I was sitting there, thinking 'bout her pretty face,
Kicking myself for not catchin' her name
I threw my hat and said, "You fool, there goes love"
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 1

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-ee-eee

Chorus 2:

She went way up yonder past the caution light
Don't know why, but somethin' felt right
When she stopped in and asked Miss Beth
For some of her sweet tea
Momma gave her a big ole glass
And sent her right back here to me
Thank God for good directions and turnip greens
