Don't you get excited
We're not leavin' yet
The sun is sinking lower and we gotta pay the rent
We've been running faster than the rain that's trying to fall
Let's stick together babe, one day we'll have it all
Your mama's gonna miss you when we finally make the move
We'll get a second bedroom so that she won't have to choose
Your boss is getting worried that i'm taking you away
She's gonna have to learn to do things by herself someday
We've been putting in our time
This time next year, we're gonna lay it on the line
Don't you get excited
We've gotta bide our time
The credit card is paid off and the cars are running fine
Your daddy keeps on telling me, we're making a mistake
Come and check out this one, it's just two blocks from the lake
We've been working overtime
Six months from now we're gonna lay it on the line
It's time to get excited
Let's pack up and go
We're gonna show this whole town we're not all talk and no show
We've been putting in our time
Put your hand in mine, we'll lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line.
