[Verse 1]
[Em]Becky was a beauty from south Alabama
Her [C]daddy had a heart
like a nine pound hammer
[D]Think he even did a little time in the slammer
[A]What was I thinkin'?
She [Em]snuck out one night and
met me by the front gate
Her [C]daddy came out
a wavin' that twelve gauge
We [D]tore out the drive
he peppered my tailgate
[A]What was I thinkin'?

[Pre-chorus 1]
Oh I [B]knew there'd be hell to pay
But that crossed my mind a little too late

[Chorus 1]
'Cause I was [E]thinkin' bout a
[D]little white [A]tank top
[G]Sittin' right [E]there in the [D]middle by [A]me
[G]I was thi[E]nkin' bout a lon[D]g kiss
[A]Man just [G]gotta get [E]goin'
where the [D]night might [A]lead
[G]I kno[B]w what I was feelin'
[D]but[A] what was I

[Interlude 1]
[Em](thinkin')[C]
What was I [D]thinkin'[A]

[Verse 2]
By the [Em]county line the cops were
nippin' on our heels
[C]Pulled off the road and kicked
it in four wheel
[D]Shut off the lights, we tore
through a cornfield
[A]What was I thinkin'?
Out the [Em]other side she was hollerin' "Faster!"
[C]Took a dirt road, had the radio blastin'
[D]Hit the honky tonk for a little close dancin'
[A]What was I thinkin'?

[Pre-chorus 2]
Oh I [B]knew there'd be hell to pay
But that crossed my mind a little too late

[Chorus 2]
'Cause I was [E]thinkin' bout a
[D]little white [A]tank top
[G]Sittin' right [E]there in the [D]middle by [A]me
[G]I was thi[E]nkin' bout a lon[D]g kiss
[A]Man just [G]gotta get [E]goin'
where the [D]night might [A]lead
[G]I kno[B]w what I was feelin'
[D]but[A] what was I thinki[E]n'?

[Verse 3]
When a [Em]mountain of a man
with a "Born to Kill" tatoo
[C]Tried to cut in, I knocked out his front tooth
We [D]ran outside hood-slidin' like Bo Duke
[A]What was I thinkin'?
I [Em]finally got her home
at a half-past too late
Her [C]daddy's in a lawn chair
sittin' on the driveway
[D]Put it in park as he started my way
[A]What was I thinkin'?
Oh [D]what was I thinkin'?
Oh [C]what was I thinkin'?

[Interlude 2]
Then she [B]gave a come-an-get-me grin
And like a bullet we were gone again

[Chorus 3]
'Cause I was [E]thinkin' bout a
[D]little white [A]tank top
[G]Sittin' right [E]there in the [D]middle by [A]me
[G]I was thi[E]nkin' bout a lon[D]g kiss
[A]Man just [G]gotta get [E]goin'
where the [D]night might [A]lead
[G]I kno[B]w what I was feelin',
Hey I know what I was feelin'
[D][A]

[Outro 1]
But what was I [E]thinkin'?[C]
What was I [D]thinkin[A]
[Repeat and fade]
