Lay It On the Line by Nick Black (Memphis) Lyrics
Verse 1
Snap back, all the way, the beginning
When I first laid eyes on you
Even then I knew I'd be winning
And I think you felt it too
We'd go to Paris, London, and Dubai
Our pics would get a million likes
All my friends would say that I am the man
We'd tie the knot and settle down, watch TV with nothing on
Now I just have to tell myself I can
Pre-Chorus
If I was a stronger man, I'd conquer my own heart
If I was a wiser man, I'd stop before I start
Chorus
Lay it on the line, leave it all behind
Look into the light, still my mind is
Living in the past, moving too fast
My ballot is cast , and so is my die
Well I'm just me, and hopefully
That's good enough for you
Verse 2
Strength can't shake a man when he's in love
And smarts won't do no good
So when I see you walk into the room
Chop me up and serve me because I'm screwed
Pre-Chorus
If I was a stronger man, I'd conquer my own heart
If I was a wiser man, I'd stop before I start
Chorus
Lay it on the line, leave it all behind
Look into the light, still my mind is
Living in the past, moving too fast
My ballot is cast , and so is my die
Well I'm just me, and hopefully
That's good enough for you
Bridge
I wish there was, a way to know
You're in the good old days
Plant a seed, watch it grow
And go your separate ways
[Spoken]
Hey it’s me
I just wanted to let you know that from now on I’m gonna try to be a stronger man
And I’m gonna take the time
Chorus
Lay it on the line, leave it all behind
Look into the light, still my mind is
Living in the past, moving too fast
My ballot is cast , and so is my die
Lay it on the line, leave it all behind
Look into the light, still my mind is
Living in the past, moving too fast
My ballot is cast , and I hope that’s good enough for you
Snap back, all the way, the beginning
When I first laid eyes on you
Even then I knew I'd be winning
And I think you felt it too

Now I just have to tell myself I can

If I was a stronger man, I'd conquer my own heart
If I was a wiser man, I'd stop before I start
Chorus
Lay it on the line, leave it all behind
Look into the light, still my mind is
Living in the past, moving too fast

Well I'm just me, and hopefully
