Intro Chords: E – C – D – A – D – A
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 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,

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,

I was thinkin’ ’bout a long kiss,

Goin’ where the night might lead,

I know what I was feelin’
E – C – D – A – D – A
But, what was I thinkin’
E
By the county line, the cop’s were nippin’ on my 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’
E
From 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’

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’
E
Finally got her home at half past two
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’
G
Oh…what was I thinkin’

What was I thinkin’

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

Like a bullet, we were gone again
