She was sitting cross legged on the hood of a ford,
filin down her nails with an emory board;
talkin to her friends about people they knew,
and all of the things that young girls do;
when she said you see the guy in the baseball cap,
i'd like to spend some time, with a boy like that;
betty said i seen him at that hardware store,
i think his name is billy, but i'm not sure;
as they talked a little while he walked by,
she smiled at him, he just walked by;
if she knew what he was thinkin as he walked away,
man i'd like to meet a girl like her someday.
Chorus: young love, real love, true love, its a new love;
they're gonna make it through the hard times, and cross those line;
yeah these ties abide, young love.
From then one she couldn't help but think about him,
and at the store down town, she saw him again;
her hands were 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 feelin inside, he could see her answer shinin in her eyes.
Chorus
From that day on you couldn't keep them apart,
they were side by side, and heart to heart;
momma cried when billy put the ring on her hand,
when the baby was born, she was crying again;
well they worked real hard and put some money down,
on a little ole house near the edge of town;
that night as he held her, he couldn't believe,
god had may a girl he would never ever leave.
Chorus
