what was i thinkin'

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 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. '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 a 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 the corn field

what was i thinkin'?

out the other side she was hollerin' faster

took a dirt road and 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. when a mountain of a man with a born to kill" tattoo
