What Was I Thinkin’

TraduçãoWell, 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-guageWe 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'?
