OK, that WAS a tear jerker the first 50 time I heard it back in the day.
But now I think in terms of 'thinning the herd'. No HS ring is worth trying to outrun a speeding train to a car.....that you were just rescued from.
You're alive, the car is about to become trash. The ring? Call Jostens. They can duplicate what they made! Nobody can duplicate/ put YOU back together again. Simple proposition.
I hope the guy got over it and made it to college where he met a girl smart enough not to run after a keepsake in the face of impending disaster. And I hope he bought a car with fuel-injection so he wouldn't bloody likely stall on RR tracks!
C'mon man!!

Quote:
The song is about a girl and her boyfriend who go out for a ride together. He pulls her to safety when their car is stalled on a railroad track in the path of an oncoming train. But then she runs back to the car, and is killed in the collision.
When her body is recovered, the narrator's high school class ring is in her hand, apparently the reason that she ran back.
The last verse ends with the lyrics: "I'll never kiss your lips again/ They buried you today." The final line in the coda asks the Teen Angel to: "Answer me, please."
"Teen Angel" and its two predecessors at the Hot 100's top spot, "El Paso" by Marty Robbins and "Running Bear" by Johnny Preston, continued a string of pop tunes in which someone dies tragically.
