Dierks Bentley – What Was I Thinkin' lyrics
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, met me by the front gate
Her daddy came out wavin' that 12 gauge
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
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 are nippin' on our heels
Pulled of the road, and kicked it in 4-wheel
Shut off the lights and tore through a cornfield
What was I thinkin'?
Out the other side, she was hollerin' "faster"
Took the dirt road, had the radio blastin'
Hit the hokney 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,
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'?

When the 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 Beau Duke
What was I thinkin'?
I finally got her home at half past too late
Her daddy's in a lawn 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-and-get-me grin
And 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,
I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss, man, just gotta get goin' where the night might lead
I know what I was feelin', yeah, I know what I was feelin',
But what was I thinkin'?
What was I thinkin'?

I know what I was feelin'
What was I thinkin'?
Guess I was thinkin' bout that tank top
And those cut-offs...
