Lyrics:

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, he found the will.

Met miss Bonnie and a little of her was a little to much.
A few movies and a few months later the feeling got strong enough
He didn't own a car so it must have been love that
drove him uptown for a diamond.
That's when he started goin'

(chorus)
Over the line
working overtime
to give her things just to hear her say
she dont deserve 'em
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 its 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 sittin' on the front porch rockin' and
Billy watchin' Bonnie's hair turn grey.

And every once in a while you could see him get up
and he'd head downtown,
'cause he'd heard about somthin' she wanted
and it just had to be found.
Didn't matter how simple or how much,
it was love.

And boy aint' that love just somethin'
when it's strong enough to keep a man goin'

(chorus)
Over the line
working overtime
to give her things just to hear her say
she dont deserve 'em
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 its not for him
she is his only need.
