Lyrics
Over The Line
Music & Lyrics: Todd Thibaud
Don’t let her tell you she’s misunderstood
‘cause I know her better than any man should
I’ve seen her in places she’ll never admit that she’s been
I’ve witnessed the faces that linger just under her skin
And don’t let her tell you the past doesn’t count
‘cause it cost me dearly undreamed of amounts
And now I just sit here and wait for the bills to come in
Mary, sweet Mary come down and take hold of my sins
‘Cause she’s already over the line
She’s saving her money and biding her time
And once she decided her life was a crime
She was already over the line, She was over the line
Now the flowers I gave her look like they should go
And the lack of her presence is starting to show
It’s hard to imagine a house without being a home
Well this one’s so cold now it’s chillin’ me right to the bone
And she’s already over the line
She’s saving her money and biding her time
And once she decided her life was a crime
She was already over the line, She was over the line
So don’t let her tell you she’s misunderstood
‘cause I know her better than any man should
I’ve seen her in places she’ll never admit that she’s been
I’ve witnessed the faces that linger just under her skin
And she’s already over the line
She’s saving her money and biding her time
And once she decided her life was a crime
She was already over the line, She was over the line
