"Good Directions" is a song written by Luke Bryan and Rachel Thibodeau and recorded by American country music artist Billy Currington. It was released in September 2006 as the third and final single from Currington’s 2005 album Doin' Somethin' Right. The song became Currington’s second number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and spent three weeks at that position.

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 Bell'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 in the Miss Belle verse, who is revealed to be the narrator's mother ("When she stopped in and asked Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea, Mama gave her a big 'ol glass and sent her right back here to me"). Upon seeing the woman return, he says "Thank God for good directions and turnip greens."

This moderate tempo tune is set in the key of F major with a chord progression of F-Am-B♭-C with Currington’s vocals ranging from C₃-F₄.^[1]

Other recordings

Luke Bryan, who wrote the song, recorded the song as a bonus track to his debut studio album I'll Stay Me.
