Chattahoochee - Alan Jackson

Chattahoochee - Alan Jackson
2:28
A Lot about Livin' (and a Little 'bout Love), 1992
Written by Alan Jackson, and Jim McBride

This song contains the album title, which I always like to find.  It's a song about being young, growing up, taking risks, and maybe learning something in a small town.  The Chattahoochee River flows in Georgia and forms part of the border between it and Alabama.  For a modern pop country song, it's fairly risqué: "Well way down yonder on the Chattahoochee / It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie."  Supposedly that's a dance, but come on.  In the song, the narrator is ready to get down with his lady, but she's not ready, so he "settled for a burger and a grape sno cone."  So wholesome!
