What Was I Thinkin` Lyrics

Well, Becky was a beauty from south Alabama

 Her Daddy had a heart like a nine pound hammer

 Think he even did a little time in the slammer

 What was I thinkin'

 

 She snuck out one night an' met me by the front gate

 Her Daddy came out a-wavin' that 12-gauge

 We tore out the drive, he peppered my tailgate

 What was I thinkin'

 

 Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay

 But that crossed my mind a little too late

 

 'Cause I was thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top

 Sittin' right there in the middle by me

 An' I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss

 Man, just gotta get going where the night might lead

 I know what I was feelin'

 But what was I thinkin'

 What was I thinkin'

 

 By the county line, the cops were nippin' on our heels

 Pulled off the road an' kicked it in four-wheel

 Shut off the lights an' tore through a cornfield

 What was I thinkin'

 At the other side she was hollerin' "faster"

 Took a dirt road, had the radio blastin'

 Hit the honky-tonk for a little close dancin'

 What was I thinkin'

 

 Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay

 But that crossed my mind a little too late

 

 (Repeat Chorus)

 

 When a mountain of a man with a "born to kill" tattoo

 Tried to cut in, I knocked out his front tooth

 We ran outside, hood slidin' like Bo Duke

 What was I thinkin'

 

 I finally got her home at a half past two, later

 Daddy's in a long chair sittin' on the driveway

 Put it in park as he started my way

 What was I thinkin'

 Oh, what was I thinkin'

 Oh, what was I thinkin'

 

 Then she gave a come an' get me grin

 And like a bullet we were gone again

 

 'Cause I was thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top

 Sittin' right there in the middle by me

 I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss

 Man, just gotta get going, where the night might lead

 I know what I was feelin'

 Yeah, I know what I was feeling

 But what was I thinkin'

 What was I thinkin'

 

 I know what I was feelin', but what was I thinkin'

 Guess I was thinkin' 'bout that tank top...
