[Verse]
 
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'
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
E
She snuck out one night and met me by the front gate,
    C
Her daddy came out a wavin' that twelve gauge,
   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,
E               D            A
Goin' where the night might lead,
B                        D - D - A - A
I know what I was feelin' 
                       E - C - D A - D A
But, what was I thinkin'
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
E
By the county line, the cop's were nippin' on our 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'
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
E
Out the 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'
 
 
[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
E               D            A
Goin' where the night might lead
B                        D - D - A - A
I know what I was feelin'
 
But, what was I thinkin'
 
(Lead chords F# - A - E - F# - C - D - E)
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
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'
 
 
[Verse 6]
 
E
Finally got her home at half past too late,
    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'
 
 
[Bridge 2]
 
G
Oh... what was I thinkin'
C
What was I thinkin'
               D#9+/5+   D#9+/5+  D#9+/5+
Then she gave a come-and-get-me grin
D#9+/5+                       D#9+/5+
And like a bullet, we were gone again
Em7#5
 
 
[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,
E               D            A
Goin' where the night might lead,
B
I know what I was feelin' 
                               D - D - A - A
Yeah, I know what I was feelin'
                       E - C - D A - D A
But, what was I thinkin'
 
(Ending chords are E - C - D A - D A)
 
[Outro]
What was I thinkin'?
Oh, I know what I was feelin'.
But what was I thinkin'?
I guess I was thinkin' 'bout that tank top.
