Good Directions - Billy Currington

[Intro]
[G] [G] [Bm] [Bm] [C] [D] [G] [NC]

[Verse 1]
I was sittin' there [G] sellin' turnips on a flatbed truck
[Bm] Crunchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up
[C] She had to be thinkin' [D] "This is where Rednecks come [Em] from" [C] [D]
[G] She had Hollywood written on her license plate
[Bm] She was lost and lookin' for the interstate
[C] Needin' directions and [D] I was the man for the [G] job

|[Chorus]
|[C] I told her way up yonder past the [D] caution light
|[C] There's a little country store with an [D] old Coke sign
|[C] You gotta stop in and ask Miss [D] Bell for some of her sweet [Em] tea
|[C] Then a left will take you to the [D] interstate
|[C] But a right will bring you [D] right back here to [G] me

[Verse 2]
[G] I was sittin' there thinkin' 'bout her pretty face
[Bm] Kickin' myself for not catchin' her name
[C] I threw my hat and thought, "You [D] fool, that could've been [Em] love" [C] [D]
[G] I knew my old Ford couldn't run her down
[Bm] She probably didn't like me anyhow
[C] So I watched her disap[D]pear in a cloud of [G] dust.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Is this [C] Georgia heat playin' [D] tricks on me
Or am [G] I really [D] seein' what I [Em] think I see
The [C] woman of my [D] dreams comin' back to [C] me

[Instrumental]
[G] [G] [Bm] [Bm] [C] [D] [G] [NC]

Outro:
She went [C] way up yonder past the [D] caution light
[C] Don't [NC] know why, but somethin' [D] felt right
When she [C] stopped and asked Miss [D] Bell for some of her sweet [Em] tea
Mama gave her a [C] big ol' glass and sent her [D] right back here to [G] me
Thank [C] God for good [D] directions and turnip greens
