I'm Layin' It On The Line

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.

Your as good as gone

Or my name ain't Don

I'm gonna make you mine

I'm tellin' 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 pretty 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

And I gotta make

You my baby.

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.

Your as good as gone

Or my name ain't Don

I'm gonna make you mine

I'm tellin' you straight

I'm a layin' it on the line.

Well, I'm just a homegrown

Country man

That ain't been much to school

Oh, but I 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'm layin' 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.

Your as good as gone

Or my name ain't Don

I'm gonna make you mine

I'm tellin' you straight

I'm a layin' it on the line.

Yeah, I'm tellin' you straight

I'm a layin' it on the line...
