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 our 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 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 and tore through a corn field
What was I thinkin'
Out the other side she was yellin 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 to 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 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 get 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 me come-and-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 goin
Where the night might lead
I know what I was feelin'
But what was I thinkin'...
What was I thinkin...
