I had a car
in Kentucky,
The car is the best friend of man,
I had a car
to cross Lexington,
To eat hot dog,
I was in a country in the hard skin,
With the rough eyes,
I had a car
To visit caves,
To count motels
And understand the world,
I accelerated, I slowed down,
I pretended to love
Girls, girls, girls,
Jennifer Lawrence played the banjo
dans la nuit américaine
I listened to the sweet coffee
Predict me the future,
I went a car
And I avoided my devils,
I fled my psychiatrists,
I had a car
in Kentucky
A turquoise blue car,
Long as a girl,
Beautiful as an actress,
I wrote poems in the steering wheel,
I wrote poems without knowing it,
Poems without knowing you.

I really like this.  Something I want to do in life just once... driving cross country, seeing the sights with no absolute destination or deadline that *has to be met.  enjoyed the trip.
