I'm Layin' It On The Line
Buck Owens
[ Don Rich ]
I'm layin' 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
Yeah as good as gone oh my name is 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...
[ guitar ]
Well I'm just a homegrown country lad 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...
Yeah I'm tellin' you straight I'm a layin' it on the line
