🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
  • It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie
  • We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt
  • We got a litte crazy but we never got caught

Echo the hook

  • I was willin' but she wasn't ready
  • So I settled for a burger and a grape snow cone
  • Dropped her off early but I didn't go home
  • Down by the river on a Friday night
boutneverlivin'
