Story behind the song
Woman finds herself with everything on the line from her signature to her good name. It's up to her to draw the line.
Lyrics

On the Line
He was the small town charmer
She couldn’t see the danger signs
Smooth talkin’ blurred rough edges
In just a moment she left her life behind
Crossed the state line at midnight
Woke the justice and his wife
In his robe he spoke so quickly
Said here is where you sign
Then her name was on the line
IN a whisper, she was one man’s wife
It was all so new
Now what would she do
As forever began that night
When her name was on the line
On the line
Ten years of cruel deception
Took it’s toll on all her pride
Called her Mama from a diner
Said her good name was on the line
In the dark night she ran seeking
Woke the preacher and his wife
In robes they spoke of courage
Your heart will know what's right
Cause her name is the line
People’d whispered since she became his wife
Life could all be new
What's a girl to do
Her forever faded that night
Cause her name was on the line
On the line
She knew the steps to the courthouse
Would be steep and cold
Before she faced those hallowed robes
Then she signed on the line
Life was whispering saying girl, it’s time
Things will all be new
You know what to do
‘Cause forever begins inside
Then her name was on the line
On the line
Her name was on the line
Life was whispering saying girl, it’s time
Things are all so new
She knows what to do
Her forever began inside
When she signed on the line
On the line
On the line
On the line
On the line
