'Til You Can't

You can tell your old man

You'll do some large-mouth fishing 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 putting off forever

With that girl whose heart you hold

Swearing that you'll ask someday, 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 sitting in the trunk of that '65

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

You can always get around to fixing 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 your dream won't chase you back

If you're gonna love somebody

Hold on as long and as strong and as close as you can

'Til you can't

So take that phone call from your mama

And just talk away

'Cause you never know how bad you wanna

'Til you can't someday

Don't wait on tomorrow, 'cause tomorrow may not show

Say your sorry's, your I love you's

'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 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

Until you can't

'Til you can't

Yeah, take it
