|
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 |
