He met Miss Bonnie and a little bit of her was a little too much

Over the limit to afford, to give her things he knew she wanted

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, 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 heard about something she wanted, and it just had to be found

And boy ain't that love just something, when it's strong enough to keep a man goin’
