I met him in the laundry room

It was getting late and he wanted to talk

So I listened

He talked of traffic and accidents

About gas spills and ruptured tanks

He mentioned all the accidents

He's been in

Along with the injuries he's sustained

Finally, he said to me,

"You know, with all this trouble that I've been through

When I get behind the wheel

I just know no matter what is around that corner

I need to just enjoy that ride

as if it's my last".
