[ Featuring Jamey Johnson ]
She was sittin' cross-legged on a hood of a Ford
+
Filin' down her nails with an emery board
+
Talkin' 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
+
And walk those lines
+
Yeah, these ties will bind
+
Young love
+
Well, she just couldn't stop herself from thinkin' '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 Saturday night?"
+
She didn't have to say what she was feelin' inside
+
He could see the answer shinin' in her eyes
+
Young love, strong love
+
True love, it's a new love
+
They're gonna make it through the hard times
+
And walk those lines
+
Yeah, these ties will bind
+
Young love
+
Well, from that day on, you couldn't keep them apart
+
They were side by side and heart to heart
+
Mama cried as Billy slipped the ring on her hand
+
When the baby was born, she was cryin' again
+
Well, they worked real hard and put some money down
+
On a little old house at the edge of town
+
That night as he held her, he just couldn't believe
+
God had made a girl that he'd never ever leave
+
Young love, strong love
+
True love, it's a new love
+
They're gonna make it through the hard times
+
And walk those lines
+
Yeah, these ties will bind
+
Young love
