You can tell your old man you'll do some large-mouth fishin' another time You just got too much on your plate to bait and cast a line You can always put a rain check in his hand Till you can't Till you can't You can keep puttin' off forever with that girl who's heart you hold Swearin' that you'll ask someday further down the road You can always put a diamond on her hand Till you can't Till you can't If you got a chance take it Take it while you got a chance If you got a dream chase it 'Cause a dream won't chase you back If you're gonna love somebody Hold 'em as long and as strong and as close as you can Till you can't Till you can't There's a box of greasy parts sittin' in the trunk of that sixty-five Still waitin' on you and your grandad to bring it back to life You can always get around to fixin' up that pontiac Till you can't Till you can't If you got a chance take it Take it while you got a chance If you got a dream chase it 'Cause a dream won't chase you back If you're gonna love somebody Hold 'em as long and as strong and as close as you can Till you can't Till you can't You know I awoke all alone one Sunday morning With this song stuck in my head And in that moment, something or someone spoke to me They said there was still a verse that needed to be written for this song And to get up and write it down There's a book that's sitting in your house somewhere That could use some dusting off There's a man that died for all our sings Hanging from the cross You can give your life to Jesus And he'll give you a second chance Till you can't Till you can't If you got a chance take it Take it while you got a chance If you got a dream chase it 'Cause a dream won't chase you back If you're gonna love somebody Hold 'em as long and as strong and as close as you can Till you can't Till you can't If you got a chance take it Take it while you got a chance If you got a dream chase it 'Cause a dream won't chase you back If you're gonna love somebody Hold 'em as long and as strong and as close as you can Till you can't Till you can't Till you can't
