I'm Layin' It on the Line

I'll lay it on the line, I'm a-gonna make you mine

I think I better warn you, it's only just a matter of time

You're as good as gone, or my name ain't Don

I'm gonna make you mine

I'm telling you straight, I'm a-layin' it on the line

Well, the first time I looked into your big brown eyes

You really gave me a thrill

You were purdy and sweet, and everything neat

And dressed up, fit to kill

I knew right then, I had to win

Your heart, and I don't mean maybe

I'll lay it on the line, I gotta make you my baby

I'll lay it on the line, I'm a-gonna make you mine

I think I better warn you, it's only just a matter of time

You're as good as gone, or my name ain't Don

I'm gonna make you mine

I'm telling you straight, I'm a-layin' it on the line

♪

Well, I'm just a home-grown country lad

That ain't been much to school

A-but it don't take much of schoolin' and such

To know that I want you

Yeah, I can feel a need in me

Without you dear, I'm a-hurtin'

I'll lay it on the line, I gotta have you for certain

I'll lay it on the line, and I'm a-gonna make you mine

I think I better warn you, it's only just a matter of time

You're as good as gone, or my name ain't Don

I'm gonna make you mine

I'm telling you straight, I'm a-layin' it on the line

Yeah, I'm telling you straight, I'm a-layin' it on the line
