She was lost and lookin' for the interstate

Needin' directions and I was the man for the job
[Chorus]
Gm C
I told her way up yonder past the caution light
Gm C
There's a little country store with an old Coke sign

You gotta stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
Gm C
Then a left will take you to the interstate

But a right will bring you right back here to me

Kickin' myself for not catchin' her name

I threw my hat and thought, "You fool, that could've been love"
