BILLY WAS
A SMALL TOWN LONER
WHO NEVER DID DREAM
OF EVER LEAVIN'
SOUTHERN ARIZONA
OR EVER HEARING
WEDDING BELLS RING
HE NEVER HAD
A LOT O' LUCK
WITH THE LADIES
BUT HE SURE HAD
A LOT O' GOOD
WORKIN' SKILLS
NEVER CARED ABOUT
CLIMBIN' ANY LADDER
HE KNEW THE WAY
AND A SMALL CAFÉ
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 FEELIN' GOT
STRONG ENOUGH
HE DIDN'T OWN A CAR
SO IT MUSTA BEEN
LOVE
I DROVE 'EM UP TOWN
FOR A DIAMOND
THAT'S WHEN
HE STARTED GOIN'
OVER THE LINE
WORKIN' 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
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
AND STAYED AT HOME
AND HAD THE FIRST
OF TWO CHILDREN
AND MY HOW THE TIME
DID FLY
THE BABIES GREW UP
AND MOVED AWAY
AND LEFT 'EM SITTIN'
ON THE FRONT PORCH
ROCKIN'
AND BILLY
WATCHIN' BONNIE'S HAIR
TURN GRAY
AND EVERY
ONCE IN AWHILE
YOU COULD SEE HIM
GET UP AND
HE'D HEAD DOWNTOWN
'CAUSE HE'D
HEARD ABOUT
SOMETHIN' 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 SOMETHIN'
WHEN IT'S
STRONG ENOUGH TO
KEEP A MAN GOIN'
OVER THE LINE
WORKIN' 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
HIS ONLY NEED
JUST FOR HER
HIS ONLY NEED
