Song Lyrics

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 twelve 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 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 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.

`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 goin`, where the night might lead.
I know what I was feelin`,
But what was I thinkin`?
What was I thinkin`?

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 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."
An` 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.
An` I was thinkin` `bout a long kiss,
Man, just gotta get goin` where the night might lead.
I know what I was feelin`. Ya I know what I was feelin`,
But what was I thinkin`?
What was I thinkin`?
What was I thinkin`?
I know what I was feelin`, but what was I thinkin`?
