C 
Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee 
 
                      G           C 
Its get hotter than a Hoochie-Koochie 
 
C 
We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt 
 
C                            G         C 
We got a little crazy but we never got caught 
 
F 
Down by the river on a Friday night 
 
C 
A few Miller cans in the pale moonlight 
 
F 
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women 
 
D7                                      G 
Never had a plan, just alivin' for the minute 
 
Chorus 
 
C 
Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee 
 
                                     G 
never knew how much that muddy water meant to me 
 
 
C 
But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was 
 
                         G 
A lot 'bout living and a little 'bout love 
 
 
We fogged up the window in my ole 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 
A few Miller can in the pale moonlight 
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women 
Never had a plan, just alivin' for the minute 
 
Chorus
