Chattahoocee - Lyrics by Alan Jackson


Lyrics
Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie

We laid rubber on the Georgie asphalt
We got a little crazy but we never got caught


Down by the river on a friday night
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight

Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
Never had a plan just a livin' 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 how I was

A lot about livin' and a litttle 'bout love


Well we fooged up the windows in my old chevy
I was willing but she wasn't ready

So a settled for a burger and a grape sno-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 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
Never had a plan just a livin' 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 how I was

A lot about livin' and a litttle 'bout love


Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie

We laid rubber on the Georgie asphalt
We got a little crazy but we never got caught


Well we fooged up the windows in my old chevy
I was willing but she wasn't ready

So a settled for a burger and a grape sno-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 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
Never had a plan just a livin' 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 how I was

A lot about livin' and a litttle 'bout love
