Intro Chords - E - C - D-A - D-A 
  
(verse) 
E 
Becky was the beauty from south Alabama, 
    C 
Her daddy had a heart like a nine pound hammer, 
   D 
I think he even did a little time in the slammer, 
A 
What was I thinkin' 
 
 
(verse 2) 
E 
She snuck out one night and met me by the front gate, 
    C 
Her daddy came out a wavin' that twelve guage, 
   D 
we tore out of the drive, he peppered my tailgate, 
A 
What was I thinkin' 
 
 
(bridge) 
B 
Oh I knew there'd be hell to pay, 
B 
But that crossed my mind a little too late, 
 
 
(Chorus) 
            E                D            A 
Cause I was thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top, 
G             E             D         A 
Sittin' right there in the middle by me, 
      E                D           
I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss, 
A             G 
Man I gotta get, 
E               D            A 
Goin' where the night might lead, 
B                        D - D - A - A 
I know what I was feelin'  
                       E - C - D-A - D-A 
But, what was I thinkin' 
 
(verse 3) 
 
By the county line, the cop's were nippin' on my heels 
Pulled off the road, kicked it in four-wheel 
Shut off the lights, tore through a corn field 
What was I thinkin' 
 
(verse 4) 
>From 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' 
 
(bridge) 
Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay 
But, that crossed my mind a little too late 
 
 
(Chorus) 
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 I gotta get 
Goin' where the night might lead 
I know what I was feelin' 
But, what was I thinkin 
 
(lead chords F# - A - E - F# - C - D - E) 
 
(verse 5) 
When a mountain of a man with a 'Born To Kill' tattoo 
Tried to cut in, I knocked out his front tooth 
Ran outside, hood-slidin' like Bo Duke 
What was I thinkin' 
 
(verse 6) 
Finally got her home at half past two 
Her daddy, in a lawn chair, sittin' on the driveway 
Put it in park, and he started my way 
What was I thinkin' 
 
G 
Oh...what was I thinkin' 
C 
What was I thinkin' 

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

D                               B 
Like a bullet, we were gone again  
 
 
(Chorus) 
            E                D            A 
Cause I was thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top, 
G             E             D         A 
Sittin' right there in the middle by me, 
      E                D           
I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss, 
A             G 
Man I gotta get, 
E               D            A 
Goin' where the night might lead, 
B                        D - D - A - A 
I know what I was feelin'  
                       E - C - D-A - D-A 
But, what was I thinkin'
