Billy was a small town loner who never did dream
Of ever leaving southern Arizona or even 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 bout climbing any ladder
He knew the way and in a small cafe he 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 when the feeling got strong enough
He never had a car so it must have been love
That drove him uptown for a dimaond 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 'em
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
You 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
My how the time did fly the babies grew up and moved away
Left 'em sittin' on the front porch rockin'
Billy watchin' Bonnie's hair turn gray
Every once in a while you could see him get up and she'd head downtown
Cause he'd heard about somethin' she wanted
But it just had to be found
It didn't matter how simple or how it was love
And boy ain't that love just something
When it's strong enought to keep a man going
Over the line working overtime...
(Over the line working overtime) she is his only need
(Overboard over the limit) just for her his only need
