Dierks Bentley - What Was I Thinkin' lyrics

(Brett Beavers/Dierks Bentley/Deric Ruttan)

Well, 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 an' met me by the front gate,

Her Daddy came out a-wavin' that 12-guage

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.

An' 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 were nippin' on our heels,

Pulled off the road an' kicked it in four-wheel.

Shut off the lights an' tore through a cornfield.

What was I thinkin'?

At 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'?

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.

An' 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'?

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, hood slidin' like Bo Duke.

What was I thinkin'?

I finally got her home at a half past two, later.

Daddy's in a long chair sittin' on 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 an' get me grin."

An' 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.

An' 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'?

I know what I was feelin', but what was I thinkin'?
