Chattahoochee (song)

"Chattahoochee" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Alan Jackson.

[1] Alan Jackson talks about the song in the liner notes for his 1995 compilation album, The Greatest Hits Collection: "Jim McBride and I were trying to write an up-tempo song and Jim came in with the line 'way down yonder on the Chattahoochee'.

It's a song about having fun, growing up, and coming of age in a small town - which really applies to anyone across the country, not just by the Chattahoochee.

Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song an A grade, saying that the song could have performed well because it "looked back on the innocence of adolescence with bemusement and fondness for that transitional period of life.

"[3] The music video was directed by Martin Kahan, premiered in May 1993, and uses the extended remix of the song.
