Oh I knew there'd be hell to pay,

Cause I was thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top,

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

Took a dirt road, had the radio blastin'
Hit the honky tonk for a little close dancin'

Sittin' right there in the middle by me

Goin' where the night might lead
I know what I was feelin'
But, 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
Ran outside, hood-slidin' like Bo Duke

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
