Okay, lets get one thing straight here: this song IS NOT about the Chattahoochee River, nor is it ABOUT A RIVER!!
What Alan sings about here is his youth and all of the fun, crazy, stupid things things that he did in the summertime. This song is NOT about how great the Chattahoochee River is, but rather it is about growin' up in the south, in the country, and in the summertime. The Chattahoochee is essentially a place where he grew up and "learned a lot about livin' and a little bout love".
