I’m Layin’ It on the Line Songtext
von Buck Owens

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

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 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
