She was sitting cross-legged on a hood of a Ford
|
Filing down her nails with a emory board
|
Talking to her friends about people they knew
|
And all of the things that young girls do
|
|
When she said, "You see that guy in the baseball cap?
|
I'd like to spend some time with a boy like that."
|
Betty said, "I've seen him at the hardware store.
|
I think his name is Billy, but I'm not sure."
|
|
And as they talked a little while he passed by
|
She smiled at him he just said "Hi."
|
He was thinking to himself as he walked away
|
Man, I'd like to find a girl like her someday
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Young love, strong love, true love
|
It's a new love
|
They're gonna make it through the hard times
|
Walk those lines
|
Yeah, these ties will bind
|
Young love
|
|
Well, she just couldn't stop herself from thinking 'bout him
|
And at a store downtown she saw him again
|
She had both hands full, he held open the door
|
He said, "My name is Billy. I've seen you before.
|
|
Can I help you with these? Can I give you a ride?
|
Can I take you out on a Saturday night?"
|
She didn't have to say what she was feeling inside
|
He could see the answer shining in her eyes
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Well, from that day on you couldn't keep them apart
|
They were side by side, heart to heart
|
Mama cried as Billy slipped the ring on her hand
|
And when the baby was born she was crying again
|
|
Well, he worked real hard and put some money down
|
On a little old house at the edge of town
|
And that night as he held her he couldn't believe
|
That God had made a girl that he'd never ever leave
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
She was sitting cross-legged on the hood of a Ford
|
Filing down her nails with an emory board
|
