Verse 1:
C
she was sitting cross legged on the hood of the ford

filing down her nails with an emery board
G
talking to her friends about people they knew

and all of the things that young girls do
C
when she said you see that guy in the base ball cap

i'd like to spend some time with a boy like that
G
betty said i've seen him in the hardware store

i think his name is billy, but i'm not sure
C
well they talked a little while and he passed by

she smiled at hime, he just said hi
G
he was thinkin' to himself as he walked away

you know i'd like to find a girl like her someday


Chorus:
      F           C            G                 C

      walk those lines yeah these ties'll bind... young love


Verse 2:
C
well she just couldn't stop herself from thinkin' bout him

at a store down town, she saw him again
G
she had both hands full, he held open the door

said my name is billy, i've seen you before
C
can i help you with these, can i give you a ride,

can i take you out on saturday night
G
she didn't have to say what she was feelin' inside,

he could see the answer shining in her eyes

Chorus: Repeat


Verse 3:
C
From that day on, you couldn't keep them apart

they were side by side and heart to heart
G
mama cried as billy slipped the ring on her hand

and when the baby was born, she was crying again
C
well he worked real hard and put some money down

on a little ol' house at the edge of town
G
that night as he held her, he couldn't believe

that god had made a girl that he'd never ever leave


Chorus: Repeat


Ending:
C
she was sitting cross legged on the hood of the ford

filing down her nails with and emery board
