The girls in this video surely know what they’re doing. All of them appear on stage donning matching outfits, complete with cowboy hats and boots. The video begins with the beat of the familiar country song, and the girls take no time to start shuffling their feet in unison.

The hit was co-written between Jim McBride and Alan Jackson and enjoyed instant success.
It went on to hit number one on the Billboard country chart, holding that position until year’s end. The song also won two Country Music Awards for Single of the Year and Song of the Year.

McBride reminisces about writing the popular tune:

“I knew about the Chattahoochee River because I was raised in Alabama. Sydney Lanier was a poet who had written a poem called ‘Song of the Chattahoochee’ that was in high school literature books. I was sitting in my home office in Nashville one day, and I had just read a book about the Chattahoochee. I started playing a little melody, and then I got the first two lines of the song.”
Once McBride found out that Jackson also grew up near the river in Georgia, the rest was history. He proposed the tune to Jackson and they instantly got to work on country at its finest.

These inspiring line-dancing ladies definitely do the song justice!
