You can tell your old man
Youll 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 cant
You can keep putting off forever
With that girl whose heart you hold
Swearing that youll ask someday, further down the road
You can always put a diamond on her hand
Til you cant
If you got a chance, take it
Take it while you got a chance
If you got a dream chase it
Cause a dream wont chase you back
If youre gonna love somebody
Hold em as long and as strong and as close as you can
Til you cant
Theres 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 cant
If you got a chance, take it
Take it while you got a chance
If you got a dream chase it
Cause your dream wont chase you back
If youre gonna love somebody
Hold on as long and as strong and as close as you can
Til you cant
So take that phone call from your mama
And just talk away
Cause you never know how bad you wanna
Til you cant someday
Dont 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 wont chase you back
If youre gonna love somebody
Hold em as long and as strong and as close as you can
Til you cant
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 wont chase you back
If youre gonna love somebody
Hold em as long and as strong and as close as you can
Until you cant
Til you cant
Yeah, take it
