Tell Laura I love her
Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents
and most of all
A wedding ring 

He saw a sign for a stock car 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 cannot wait 

He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
The crowed roared as they started the race
Around 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
