Intro
Verse
Billy was a small town loner, who never did dream
Of ever leaving southern Arizona, or ever hearing wedding bells ring
He never had alot luck with the ladies, but he sure had alot of good working skills
Never cared about climbing any ladder, He knew the way in a small cafe; found the will
He met Miss Bonnie and a little bit of her was a little too much
A few movies and a few months later, the feeling got strong enough
He didn't own a car so it must of been love.......
I drove him uptown for a diamond that's when he started goin'
Chorus
Over the line, workin' overtime
To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve them
But he loved her and he just kept goin' overboard
Over the limit to afford, to give her things he knew she wanted
'Cause without her where would he be, see it's not for him
She is his only need
Ring on her finger and one on the ladder, A new promotion every now and then
Bonnie worked until she couldn't tie her apron, then stayed at home and had the first of
two children
And my, how the time did fly, The babies grew up and moved away
Left 'em sitting on the front porch rocking, Billy watching Bonnie's hair turn gray
And every once in a-while you could see him get up and he'd head downtown
'Cause heard about something she wanted, and it just had to be found
Didn't matter how simple or how much, it was love........
And boy ain't that love just something, when it's strong enough to keep a man goin
Chorus
Over the line, workin' overtime
To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve them
But he loved her and he just kept goin' overboard
Over the limit to afford, to give her things he knew she wanted
'Cause without her where would he be, see it's not for him
She is his only need
