Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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'?

[Verse 2]

She snuck out one night and met me by the front gate

Her daddy came out wavin' that twelve gauge

We tore out the drive, he peppered my tailgate

What was I thinkin'?

[PreChorus]

Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay

But that crossed my mind a little too late 'cause I was

[Chorus]

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'?

[Verse 3]

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 hollerin' faster

Took a dirt road, had the radio blastin'

Hit the honky tonk for a little close dancin'

What was I thinkin'?

[PreChorus]

Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay

But that crossed my mind a little too late 'cause I was

[Chorus]

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'?

[Verse 4]

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 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'?

[PreChorus]

Then she gave a come-and-get-me grin

And like a bullet, we were gone again, 'cause I was

[Chorus]

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'?

[Outro]

I know what I was feelin'

What was I thinkin'?

Guess I was thinkin' 'bout that tank top

Those cutoffs
