Young Love (Strong Love)

                                  She was sitting crossed legged on a hood of a ford

Filing down her nails with a emery board

Talking to her friends about people they knew 

And a lot 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 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 him self 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

Their gonna make it through the hard times

Walk those lines

yeah these ties will bind

Young love



We'll she just couldn't stop her self from thinking about him

And at a store downtown she saw him again

She had both hands full

He held open the door



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

Momma 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 crossed legged on the hood of a ford

Filing down her nails with an emery board
