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. 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 Belle, who is revealed to be the main character's mother).
