Content
The song's narrator is a man who is selling turnips at a roadside stand. A beautiful woman pulls up in a car, asking the man for directions to an undisclosed Interstate, which the man then gives and suggests that woman stop by a little country store to try some of Miss Belle's sweet tea. The man then regrets sending the woman away without even asking for her name. However, he later sees the woman return to his stand (per the suggestion of Miss Belle, who is revealed to be the main character's mother). Upon seeing the woman return, he says "Thank God for good directions and turnip greens."
Other recordings
Luke Bryan, who wrote the song, recorded the song as a bonus track to his debut album I'll Stay Me.
