Ray Peterson - 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 ground

He was the youngest driver there

The crowed roared as they started the race

Round the track they drove at a deadly pace
