Biografía:
Billy Currington nació el 19 de Noviembre de 1973 en Savannah, Georgia. Cuando tenía un año y medio de edad su madre se caso con un hombre cuyo nombre era Larry Currington. La vida no fue fácil durante sus primeros años, pues su padrastro tenia un fuerte problema de adicción al alcohol, lo que causo grandes pleitos en la vida familiar.
Se mudo a Nashville después de la secundaria para seguir una carrera musical, pero su primer trabajo no duro mucho, así que volvió a Georgia, y trabajo cantando en un bar por un tiempo.

Billy Currington
Good Directions
This is the actual version of the song (no capo). I made this tab so it would be easy to transpose. Billy
Currington plays this song live with a capo on the 3rd fret (transpose 3 steps down). However, I believe that
on the studio recording the guitar player plays this song with a capo on the 5th fret
(transpose 5 steps down). This seems to match the chord voicing of the studio track and would adhere to
Nashville's K.I.S.S. methodology. Capo 5 works very well for the F, C/E, Dm (C, G/B, Am capo 5th fret)
chord progression during the bridge.
Intro: F Am Bb C F C7
Verse I:
F
I was sittin' there sellin' turnips on a flatbed truck
Am
Crunchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up
Bb C Dm
She had to be thinkin' "This is where Rednecks come from"
F
She had Hollywood written on her license plate
Am
She was lost and lookin' for the interstate
Bb C F
Needin' directions and I was the man for the job
Chorus:
Bb C
I told her way up yonder past the caution light
Bb C
There's a little country store with an old Coke sign
Bb C Dm
You gotta stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
Bb Gm
Then a left will take you to the interstate
Bb C F C7
But a right will bring you right back here to me
Verse II:
F
I was sittin' there thinkin' 'bout her pretty face
Am
Kickin' myself for not catchin' her name
Bb C Dm
I threw my hat and thought, "You fool, that could've been love"
F
I knew my old Ford couldn't run her down
Am
She probably didn't like me anyhow
Bb C F
So I watched her disappear in a cloud of dust.
Chorus:
Bb C
I told her way up yonder past the caution light
Bb C
There's a little country store with an old Coke sign
Bb C Dm
You gotta stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
Bb Gm
Then a left will take you to the interstate
Bb C F
But a right will bring you right back here to me
Bridge:
Bb C
Is this Georgia heat playin' tricks on me
F C/E Dm
Or am I really seein' what I think I see
Bb C F *
The woman of my dreams comin' back to me
Instrumental: F Am Bb C F
Chorus:
Bb C
She went way up yonder past the caution light
Bb (strong pause) C
Don't know why, but somethin' felt right
Bb C Dm
When she stopped in and asked Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
Bb C F
Mama gave her a big 'ol glass and sent her right back here to me
Bb C7 F
Thank God for good directions: and turnip greens
*During the bridge, the F before the instrumental could be a Dm. The vocals seem to have a minor tonality
to them. However, the bass sounds like it is playing an F. A Dm could be substituted here if desired.
