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
