Currington Billy Lyrics
 |
Capo: 3rd Fret
(verse 1)
D
I was sittin' there, sellin' turnips on a flatbed truck
F#m
Crunchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up
G A Bm
She had to be thinkin "this is where rednecks come from"
(verse 2)
D
She had Hollywood written on her license plate
F#m
She was lost and lookin for the interstate
G A D
Needin' directions and I was the man for the job
(chorus)
G A
I told her way up yonder past the caution light
G A
There's a little country store with an old coke sign
G A Bm
You gotta stop and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
G A
Then a left will take you to the interstate
G A (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)
G A
Is this Georgia heat playin' tricks on me
Bm A
Or am I really seein' what I think I see
G A Bm A G
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
G A NC
Thank God for good directions, and turnip greens
