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
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
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
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
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
So take that phone call from your mama
Just talk away
'Cause you'll never know how bad you wanna
Till you can't some day
Don't wait on tomorrow
'Cause tomorrow may not show
Say your sorry's, 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
Till 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
Till you can't
Till you can't
Yeah
Take it
