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 later   The feeling got strong enough      They didn't own a car   So it must have been love   That drove him uptown for a diamond   And that's when he started going      Over the line, working overtime   To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve them   But he loved 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 them 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'd 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 going      Over the line, working overtime   To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve them   But he loved 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      Over the line, working overtime   She is his only need   Overboard, over the limit   She is his only need
