[Refrão]
(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 gotta get,
E D A
Goin' where the night might lead,
[Próxima Parte]
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
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
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'
D D D
Then she gave a come-and-get-me grin
D B
Like a bullet, we were gone again
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
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)
