| Billy was a small town loner
|
| Who never did dream
|
| Of ever leaving southern Arizona
|
| Or ever hearing wedding bells ring
|
| He never had a lot of luck with the ladies
|
| But he sure had a lot 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 latter
|
| The feeling got strong enough
|
| They didn’t own a car
|
| So it must have been love
|
| That drove him uptown for a diamond
|
| That’s when he started goin?
|
| Over the line
|
| Working overtime
|
| To give her things just to hear her say she don’t deserve them
|
| But he loves her and he just kept going 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
|
| And Billy watching Bonnie’s hair turn gray
|
| And every once in a while you could see him get up
|
| And he’s head downtown
|
| 'Cause he 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?
|
| (Repeat Chorus)
|
| Over the line
|
| Working overtime
|
| She is his only need
|
| His only need
|
| Overboard
|
| Over the limit
|
| Just for her
|
| She is his only need
|
| His only need |
