Becky was a beauty from South Alabama, her daddy had a hard lock, a 9 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 12 gage,

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.

Cuz I was thinkin about a little white tank top sitting right there in the middle by me,

I was thinkin bout a long kiss man I just gotta get going where the night might lead.

I know what I was feeling, but what was I thinkin', what was I thinkin...?



By the county line the cops were nipping on our heels,

Pulled off the road and kicked it in 4 wheels, shut off the lights and tore through a corn field,

What was I thinkin'?

Out the other side she was hollerin faster, took the dirt road had the radio blastin,

Hit the honky tonk for a little close dancing, 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 about a little white tank top sitting right there in the middle by me,

I was thinkin bout a long kiss man I just gotta get going where the night might lead.

I know what I was feeling, 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,

We ran outside, hood sliding like Bo Duke, what was I thinkin?

I finally got her home at a half past two, her daddy's in a lawn chair sittin on the drive way,

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 and get me grin, and like a bullet we were gone again. -acap
