Sides face, grand square (or Head ladies lead for a tea cup chain)
Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie-koochie
We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt
Allemande left the corner and weave the ring
Down by the river on a Friday night
Swing and promenade in the pale moonlight
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women
Never had a plan, just a-livin' for the minute

Heads (sides) promenade go around half way
Walk in half square thru now be ready
So swing thru you go and the boys run right
Wheel & deal, do an eight chain 5
Down by the river on a Friday night
Allemande left and promenade in the pale moonlight
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women
Never had a plan, just a-livin' for the minute

Sides face grand square
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
Heads (sides) square thru 4 hand tonight
Swing and promenade in the pale moonlight
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women
Never had a plan, just a-livin' for the minute

Heads (sides) promenade go around halfway
Sides (heads) right & left thru, don't be ready
So square thru you go 4 hands, right' right
Relay the deucey, do it tonight
Down by the river on a Friday night
Swing and promenade in the pale moonlight
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women
Never had a plan, just a-livin' for the minute

Half sides face grand square
Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was
A lot 'bout living and a little 'bout love
Swing
A lot 'bout living and a little 'bout love
Swing again
