Way down yonder on the chattahoochee!

Alan Jackson - chattahoochee


This song would have to be one of my favorites right now because it's where I picture myself in about 20 days when school gets out, just cruising on down the road with nothing to worry about except what I'm gonna do tonight. I believe this song summarizes what kind of person I am when it's summer; you know the type, slacker, care free, relaxed. This song really hits home to me and my friends back home because we always end up at the lake or down by the river outside my home town of 372 people, so when I hear the song go "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 living for the minute." It really takes me back to the summers spend with my best friends and the crazy nights we had we sure did learn "A lot about livin and a little bout love". I kind of have to laugh when I think about all those times, about all those conversations about the different girls my friends and I used to dwell on. Listening to this song will hopefully make these next 20 days go faster and hopefully the next 90 after that go slow, so I can lay a little rubber on that blacktop road, get a little crazy and hopefully not get caught then sit back relax and talk about cars and dream bout women way down yonder on the Chattahoochee.
