What Was I Thinkin

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 and met me by the front gate
Her Daddy came out wavin' that twelve gauge
We tore out the dive 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!

'Cuz 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 goin' 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 and kicked it in four wheel
Shut off the lights, we tore through a cornfield
What was I thinkin'?
Out 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!

'Cuz 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 goin' where the night might lead
I know what I was feelin, but what was I thinkin'

When a mountain of a man with a "Born to Kill" tatoo
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 too late
Her daddy's in a lawn 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!!

'Cuz 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 goin' where the night might lead
I know what I was feelin'
Hey I know what I was feelin'
But what was I thinkin'

What was I thinkin'

I know what I was feelin'
What was I thinkin'
