Saturday Song Lyrics (Dierks Bentley)
So the Grammy Awards are tomorrow night and there are a lot of great country music artists nominated for awards this year. One of them is Dierks Bentley, so in honor of his nomination, I thought I would post some lyrics from the song that made him a superstar to begin with. So I hope you enjoy and root for Dierks tomorrow night!
What Was I Thinkin’ by Dierks Bentley
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 lawn 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’?

Heather. I owe you my life haha.
I heard this song and all I could remember was that it was about a guy who was getting in over his head for a girl. So typing in “What was I thinkin - country” on Google didn’t do me much good until I found this haha.
Thank you ^_^
