'Til You Can't

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

'Til you can't

You can keep puttin' off forever with that girl whose heart you hold

Swearin' that you'll ask some day further down the road

You can always put a diamond on her hand

'Til 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

'Til you can't

There's a box of greasy parts sittin' in the trunk of that '65

Still waitin' on you and your granddad to bring it back to life

You can always get around to fixin' up that Pontiac

'Til 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

'Til you can't

So take that phone call from your mama

Just talk away

'Cause you'll never know how bad you wanna

'Til you can't some day

Don't wait on tomorrow

'Cause tomorrow may not show

Say your "sorrys", your "I love yous"

'Cause, man, you never know

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

'Til you can't

Yeah, if you got a chance, take it (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

'Til you can't

'Til you can't

Yeah

Take it
