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'

E 
She snuck out one night and met me by the front gate, 
    C 
Her daddy came out a wavin' that twelve gauge, 
   D 
we tore out of the drive, he peppered my tailgate, 
A 
What was I thinkin'
[Pont]
B 
Oh I knew there'd be hell to pay, 
B 
But that crossed my mind a little too late,
[Refrain]
            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 just gotta get, 
E               D            A 
Goin' where the night might lead, 
B                        D - D - A - A 
I know what I was feelin'

But, what was I thinkin'
[Strophe]
E 
By the county line, the cop's were nippin' on our heels 
    C 
Pulled off the road, kicked it in four-wheel 
   D 
Shut off the lights, tore through a corn field 
A 
What was I thinkin'
[Strophe]
E 
Out the the 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'
[Pont]
B 
Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay

E 
When a mountain of a man with a 'Born To Kill' tattoo 
    C 
Tried to cut in, I knocked out his front tooth 
   D 
Ran outside, hood-slidin' like Bo Duke 
A 
What was I thinkin'
[Strophe]
E 
Finally got her home at half past too late, 
    C 
Her daddy, in a lawn chair, sittin' on the driveway 
   D 
Put it in park, and he started my way 
A 
What was I thinkin'
[Pont]
G 
Oh... what was I thinkin' 
C 
What was I thinkin' 
               D#9+/5+  
Then she gave a come-and-get-me grin 
  
And like a bullet, we were gone again

[Outro]
 
What was I thinkin'?  
 
Oh, I know what I was feelin'. 
 
But what was I thinkin'? 
 
I guess I was thinkin' 'bout that tank top.
