What Was I Thinkin’ Lyrics By Dierks Bentley

    becky was a beauty from south alabama
    her daddy had a heart like a ninepound hammer
    think he even did a little time in the slammer
    what was i thinking
    she snuck out one night and met me by the front gate
    her daddy came out waving that twelve gauge
    we tore out the drive he peppered my tailgate
    what was i thinking

    pre
    oh i knew there’d be hell to pay
    but that crossed my mind a little too late
    cause i was

    thinking about a little white tank top sitting right
    there in the middle by me
    i was thinking about a long kiss man just got to get
    going where the night might lead
    i know what i was feeling
    but what was i thinking what was i thinking

    by the county line the cops were nipping on our heels
    pulled off the road and kicked it in fourwheel
    shut off the lights and tore through the corn field
    what was i thinking
    out the other side she was hollering faster
    took a dirt road and had the radio blasting
    hit the honky tonk for a little close dancing
    what was i thinking

    pre
    oh i knew there’d be hell to pay
    but that crossed my mind a little too late
    cause i was

    thinking about a little white tank top sitting right
    there in the middle by me
    i was thinking about a long kiss man just got to get
    going where the night might lead
    i know what i was feeling
    but what was i thinking what was i thinking

    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 hoodsliding like bo duke
    what was i thinking
    i finally got her home at a half past too late
    her daddy’s in a lawn chair sitting on the driveway
    put it in park as he started my way
    what was i thinking oh what was i thinking oh what was i thinking
    then she gave a comeandgetme grin
    and like a bullet we were gone again cause i was

    thinking about a little white tank top sitting right
    there in the middle by me
    i was thinking about a long kiss man just got to get
    going where the night might lead
    i know what i was feeling
    but what was i thinking what was i thinking
