1. She was sitting cross-legged on the hood of the Ford,
filing
down her nails with an emery board,
E
talking
to her friends about people they knew,
and
all of the things that young girls do.
A
When she said, “You see that
guy in the base ball cap,
I'd like to spend some time
with a boy like that !”
E
Betty said, “I've seen him at
the hardware store,
I think his name is Billy, but
I'm not sure.”
A
Well, they talked a little
while and he passed by,
she
smiled at hime, he just said „Hi”.
E
He was thinkin' to himself as
he walked away,
“Man, I'd like to find a girl
like her someday !”

2. Well, she just couldn't stop herself from thinkin' bout him,
at a
store down town, she saw him again,
E
she
had both hands full, he held open the door,
said,
“My name is Billy, I've seen you before.
A
Can I help you with these ? Can I give you a ride ?
Can I take you out on Saturday
night ?”
E
She didn't have to say what
she was feelin' inside,
he
could see the answer shining in her eyes.

3. Well, from that day on, you couldn't keep
them apart,
they
were side by side and heart to heart,
E
mama cried as Billy slipped the ring on her
hand,
and
when the baby was born, she was crying again.
A
Well, he worked real hard and
put some money down
on a
little old house at the edge of town,
E
and that
night as he held her, he couldn't believe
that
God had made a girl that he'd never ever leave.
