What Was I Thinkin

Becky was the beauty from south Alabama,
Her daddy had a heart like a nine pound hammer,
I 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 a wavin' that twelve guage,
we tore out of 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,
I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss,
Man I just gotta get,
Goin' where the night might lead,
I know what I was feelin'
But, what was I thinkin'
(~Same progrresion as before i didnt have tim to put them all in~)
By the county line, the cop's were nippin' on our heels
Pulled off the road, kicked it in four-wheel
Shut off the lights, tore through a corn field
What was I thinkin'
Out the 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
I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss
Man I 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' tattoo
Tried to cut in, I knocked out his front tooth
Ran outside, hood-slidin' like Bo Duke
What was I thinkin'
Finally got her home at half past too late,
Her daddy, in a lawn chair, sittin' on the driveway
Put it in park, and he started my way
What was I thinkin'
Oh...what was I thinkin'
What was I thinkin'
Then she gave a come-and-get-me grin
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 I just gotta get,
Goin' where the night might lead,
I know what I was feelin'
But, what was I thinkin'
