Lyrics: Alan Jackson – Chattahoochee
Well, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt We got a little crazy but we never got caught
Down by the river on a Friday night Pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight Talking about cars and dreaming about women Never had a plan just a living for the minute
Yeah, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was A lot about living and a little ’bout love’, aw haw
Well, we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy I was willing but she wasn’t ready So I settled for a burger and a grape snow cone Dropped her off early but I didn’t go home
Down by the river on a Friday night A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight Talking about cars and dreaming about women Never had a plan just a living for the minute
Yeah, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was A lot about living and a little ’bout love (yeh-hi)
Yeah, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was A lot about living and a little ’bout love A lot about living and a little ’bout love
