Content

The song's main character 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 ("Way up yonder past the caution light / There's 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"). 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 Bell, who is revealed to be the main character's mother); upon seeing the woman return, the man states, "Thank God for good directions / And turnip greens".
