Wreck on the Highway--Roy Acuff (1942)

[the OlLine Rebel]

I’ll have to repeat the songs like that I posted earlier.

Could be “Tell Laura I Love Her” except he deliberately was in a public car race.

Perhaps you were thinking “TEEN Angel”, but that is the boy singing about his girl dying from the car/train wreck.
