what was i thinking

Dierks Bentley



Intro Chords - E - C - D-A - D-A


 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 guage,
 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)
 EDA
Cause I was thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top,
 GEDA
 Sittin' right there in the middle by me,
 ED
I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss,
 AG
 Man I gotta get,
 EDA
 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)
By the county line, the cop's were nippin' on my heels
Pulled off the road, kicked it in four-wheel
Shut off the lights, tore through a corn field
What was I thinkin'
(verse 4)
>From 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'
(bridge)
Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay
But, that crossed my mind a little too late
(chorus)
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 I gotta get
Goin' where the night might lead
I know what I was feelin'
But, what was I thinkin
(lead chords F# - A - E - F# - C - D - E)

(verse 5)
When a mountain of a man with a 'Born To Kill' tattoo
Tried to cut in, I knocked out his front tooth
Ran outside, hood-slidin' like Bo Duke
What was I thinkin'
(verse 6)
Finally got her home at half past two
Her daddy, in a lawn chair, sittin' on the driveway
Put it in park, and he started my way
What was I thinkin'
 G
 Oh...what was I thinkin'
 C
 What was I thinkin'
 DDD
Then she gave a come-and-get-me grin

 DB
 Like a bullet, we were gone again
(chorus)
 EDA
Cause I was thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top,
 GEDA
 Sittin' right there in the middle by me,
 ED
I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss,
 AG
 Man I gotta get,
 EDA
 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'
(Ending chords are E - C - D-A - D-A)
