Chattahoochee lyrics

Well, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee1

It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie2

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

Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' '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 who I was

A lot about livin' and a little 'bout love.

Aa-ha!

Well, we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy

I was willin' but she wasn't ready

So I settled for a burger and a grape snow-cone

I dropped her off early but I didn't go home.

Down by the river on a Friday night

Pyramid of cans3 in the pale moonlight

Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' '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 who I was

A lot about livin' and a little 'bout love.

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.

Well, we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy

I was willin' but she wasn't ready

So I settled for a burger and a grape snow-cone

I dropped her off early but I didn't go home.

Down by the river on a Friday night

Pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight

Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' '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 who I was

A lot about livin' and a little 'bout love.

A lot about livin' and a little 'bout love.

Yeah-heh! That's right...

1. Chattahoochee River, it runs between Alabama and Georgia in the U.S.A.2. A Hoochie Coochie is a girlie club. Go-go girls.3. A pyramid of cans are empty beer cans that have been drunk at an outing. They are stacked much like trophies showing how much was drunk.
