Bryan, Luke - Good Directions Lyrics






[Verse 1:]
I was sittin' there, sellin' turnips on a flat-bed truck
Crunchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up
She had to be thinkin' this is where rednecks come from.
She had HOLLYWOOD written on her license plate
She was lost and lookin' for the Interstate.
Needin' directions and I was the man for the job.

[Chorus 1:]
I told her, "Way up yonder past the caution lights
There's a little country store with an old COKE sign.
You gotta stop and ask Miss Beth
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."

[Verse 2:]
I was sitting there, thinking 'bout her pretty face,
Kicking myself for not catchin' her name.
I threw my hat, said, "You fool, there goes love."
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 1]

Is this Georgia heat playin' tricks on me,
Or am I really seein' what I think I see.
The woman of my dreams comin' back to me, yeah.

[Chorus 2:]
She went way up yonder past the caution light
Don't know why, but somethin' felt right.
When she stopped in and asked Miss Beth
For some of her sweet tea.
Mamma gave her a big ole glass
And sent her right back here to me.
Thank God for good directions and turnip greens.

    I agree, Luke Bryans version is better. And he does deserve more credit for writing this. ALL songwriters deserve more credit for what theyve done. My father is one so i would know how they get treated. But honestly, if Luke didnt become famous and start doing his own music, would anybody care that he wrote it? No, and its a shame! I thank you for posting this video!! A lot of people didnt even know he wrote it!

    um,,no they dont

  56. G.... ....

    cool story bro

  57. K.... ....

    Currington does a much better job with pauses between words, emphasis on phrases and pronouncing. That is why his version is so strong. Its not just what it says,........ but the emotion and feeling he puts into it with ---careful timing--- with his voice. That is an important plus. Maybe that is why it was released with Currington doing the singing.

  59. K.... ....

    Read your original comment you said 'bryan co-wrote with him in mid 2007' Currington did no writing it was Bryan and Rachel Thibodeau.

  60. K.... ....

    Before you make a comment, make sure you have your facts straight.

    Good Directions was written by Luke Bryan and Rachel Thibodeau, if you don't believe me check out the cd sleeve for Currington's cd.

    Noob

  61. R.... ....

    He can give me directions anyday! :d

  62. E.... P....

    kind of sounds like the mavericks

  63. R.... ....

    there both good but luke is beter by a littel bit that was nice of to let billy c sing it

  64. K.... ....

    Well, the fact that a lot of people didn't even pay attention to Billy until he made this song, says a lot about Luke's talents and I'm sure a lot of people have heard of Luke, sheesh.

  65. P.... ....

    i think they both rock..but lukes voice makes me melt lol <33

  66. N.... ....

    He could have had a good hit with this if he'd released it as a single under his name. I like what I hear.

  67. n.... ....

    i like this version better

  68. K.... ....

    If anyone wants this version, leave me a message :)

  69. P.... M....

    i knew he wrote it but why didn't he record it himself? phil vasser did that alot too. wrote great songs but let others record them...

  70. K.... ....

    Honestly someone sent it to me, I don't know where they got it from, but I'm sure if you search for it you should be able to find it :)

  71. M.... S....

    LOVE IT,LOVE IT

  72. K.... ....

    Luke Bryan sings this song so much better than Billy Curringtion, but that's just my opinion. Hope you guys enjoy Luke's version ;)
