Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents, but most of all
A wedding ring!
He saw a sign for a stockcar race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother Tommy said
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do that can not wait
He drove his car to the racing ground
He was the youngest driver there
Now the crowd roared as they started the race
Round the track they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what happened that day
How his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath they heard him say
**
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
Now in the chapel where Laura prays
For her Tommy who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
But alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
