What Was I Thinkin'?
Written by - Brett Beavers, Dierks Bentley & Deric Ruttan
Well, 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 an' met me by the front gate
Her Daddy came out a wavin' that 12-guage
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
An' 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'? 

By the county line the cops were nippin' on our heels
Pulled off the road an' kicked it in four wheel
Shut off the lights an' tore through a cornfield
What was I thinkin'?

At 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'?

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
An' 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'? 

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 two, later
Daddy's in a long chair sittin' in 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'?

Then she gave a 'Come an' get me grin'
An' like a bullet we were gone again

'Cause I was thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top
Sittin' right there in the middle by me
An' 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'?

I know what I was feelin'
But what was I thinkin'?
