Becky was the beauty from south Alabama,

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 just gotta get,

(verse 3) By the county line, the cop's were nippin' on our 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) Out the 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 just 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 too late, Her daddy, in a lawn chair, sittin' on the driveway Put it in park, and he started my way What was I thinkin'
