About the song
"Young Love (Strong Love)" chronicles a relationship between a young couple, beginning from the first time a young woman lays eyes on a man; according to the song's lyrics, she was "sitting cross-legged on the hood of a Ford, filing down her nails with an emery board." As the song continues, the boy -- whose name is Billy -- and girl — never named in the song — meet and the relationship blossoms into love. Eventually, the two are married, have a baby and move into a house on the edge of town.
