| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| She was sitting cross-legged on the hood of a Ford
|
| Filing down her nails with an emory board |
