Who sings this and where can I get it? I love this song! I sing it in my sleep. You can get it on iTunes.
Artist: Billy Currington
Song: Good Directions
Album: Doin' Somethin' Right
I was sittin鈥?there sellin鈥?turnips on a flatbed truck
Crunchin鈥?on a pork rind when she pulled up
She had to be thinkin鈥?鈥淭his is where the rednecks come from鈥?br>
She had Hollywood written on her license plate
She was lost and lookin鈥?for the interstate
Needin鈥?directions and I was the man for the job
[Chorus]
I told her way up yonder past the caution light
There鈥檚 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
But a right will bring you right back here to me
I was sittin鈥?there thinkin鈥?鈥榖out her pretty face
Kickin鈥?myself for not catchin鈥?her name
I threw my hat and thought, 鈥淵ou fool, that coulda been love鈥?br>
I knew my old Ford couldn鈥檛 run her down
She probably didn鈥檛 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鈥檚 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
But a right will bring you right back here to me
Is this Georgia heat playin鈥?tricks on me
Or am I really seein鈥?what I think I see
The woman of my dreams comin鈥?back to me
She went way up yonder past the caution light
Don鈥檛 know why, but somethin鈥?felt right
When she stopped in and asked Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
Mama gave her a big 鈥榦l glass and sent her right back here to me
Thank God for good directions鈥nd turnip greens it is sang by billie currington , it is on his album doing somethin right I love that song :)
It's called "Good Directions" by Billy Currington. You can find it on iTunes (if you have it) or on his CD "Doin' Something Right" I like the song alot. But I ponder why he is referring to his mom as "Miss" Bell (should be "Belle" I assume). Maybe an old friend would call her that from her single days, or hey maybe "mom" never bothered, well, you know, making it "official". Or maybe it's just a southern thing. But still strange coming from her son.
Also why thank turnip greens? I know he's selling turnips, but why thank the greens? |
