WARREN ZEVON - The Overdraft Lyrics

written by Thomas McGuane & Warren Zevon 1982 Zevon music BMI



I had a little girl, now

We crossed the state line

It was more than just an overdraft

We were looking at time



If I do say so I can't let go

And I don't take no for an answer

If I do say so I can't let go

And I don't take no for an answer



We had to leave in a hurry, now

No time to hesitate

It was worse than misunderstanding

I had to ask her not to call it fate



If I do say so I can't let go

And I don't take no for an answer

If I do say so I can't let go

And I don't take no for an answer



No one sleeps on the yellow line

No one's that alone

Someone's in the window

So don't try to use the phone

We're just up against it

We turned up in the zone

If you ever get an overdraft

You'll never make it home



If I do say so I can't let go

And I don't take no for an answer

If I do say so I can't let go

And I don't take no for an answer

If I do say so I can't let go

And I don't take no for an answer

If I do say so I can't let go

And I don't take no for an answer
