Allegheny was originally going to be titled Alabama, but my co-writer, Pat Gallagher suggested that there are too many songs about Alabama and we should build a song closer to the truth anyway. I grew up in Pennsylvania, so we titled the song Allegheny and took it from there. I just had a strong melody in mind with a 4 syllable place name to start with. We drew from some real life experiences I had had to come up with the lyric that made sense. I almost considered having some piano on this and may re-record one day with piano.
