Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the third night in a row
We've been cruising the town
Windows down, singing songs
Just driving around
My buddies think I'm crazy
Hell, I might be maybe
But that's okay baby
Come on fall into me, into my arms
Let me wrap you up with this southern boy charm
Hey bae, whatcha say?
Girl you got a way
Of making me wanna take the long way home
While we hugging and kissing, getting the loving turned on
I need ya bad you see
The things you do to me
If you're feeling what I'm feeling hop on out of that shotgun seat
Lay it on me, lay it on me
Lay it on me, lay it on me
Give me a shot of them sweet pink lemonade lips
That's it, don't quit
Girl it's right on hit
You could be my country dime
I wanna make you mine

In "Lay It On Me," Dylan Scott describes three nights of driving around town with a girl he's crushing on, singing along to music with his windows down. Despite what his friends may think, he's falling for this girl and wants her to know it. He asks her to fall into his arms and let him show her the southern boy charm he's known for. He describes her as being his "country dime" and expresses his desire to make her his own. He asks her to lay it all on him and gives her permission to hop out of the shotgun seat and take control. The lyrics of the song are an expression of the passionate and urgent feelings of love that can come over someone in the early stages of a relationship.
The chorus of "Lay It On Me" is full of emotion and is the central focus of the song. It talks about falling into someone's arms and hugging and kissing. The romantic and intimate nature of the lyrics is further highlighted by the reference to "sweet pink lemonade lips," which are a metaphor for the softness and sweetness of the girl's lips. Scott's vocal performance is powerful and heartfelt, adding to the emotional impact of the song. The instrumentation is a fusion of country and pop-rock, with a driving beat and catchy guitar riffs.

Jesus, there is something about his voice that is so fucking perfect. I could honestly listen to him sing forever. So good I don't even care that he used the word bae. Or that he's wearing those kinds of hats I hate. It doesn't matter to me at all. I love him.
Draper Bourgeois
His hat is actually why I liked him as for singing this song.Was listening and thought ...guess a newer kind of country song,then saw him with that hat instead of a cowboy hat and he then got my respect.
