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, met me by the front gate
Her daddy came out wavin that 12 gage
Tore out the drive and peppered my tail gate
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 are nippin on our heels
Pulled of the road, kicked it in 4 wheel
Shut off the lights and tore through a corn field
What was I thinkin?
Out the other side, she was hollerin fast
Took the dirt road, had the radio blastin
Hit hokey 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 just gotta get goin where the night might lead
I know what I was feelin but what was I thinkin?

When the 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 beau duke
What was I thinkin?
I finally got her home at a half past two
And her daddy 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?
As you gave a 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, yeah 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
Guess I was thinkin bout that tank top
And those cut offs
