"Untitled II 2-12-73"
I laughed I floored the pedal As I thought of my baby As I thought of my Pretty laughing too. She was laughing pretty loudly She was laughing pretty badly So I left and laughed The highway turned so blue. I was laughing on the road It seemed so funny to me then It seemed Ironic, pretty funny When she said all that she said I simply told her that I loved her Told her simply that I loved her But she threw her head back Nearly laughed me dead. I cried I turned the corner As I thought of my honey As I thought of my Petty, rotten luck. I had laughed the situation At my heartached remonstration As I laughed, I died I never saw that truck.
