Singer:buck owens

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

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.
