You can tell your old man
+
You'll do some largemouth 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 who's heart you hold
+
Swearing 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 sitting in the trunk of that '65
+
Still waiting on you and your granddad 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 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 momma and just talk away
+
'Cause you'll never know how bad you wanna 'til you can't someday
+
Don't wait on tomorrow 'cause tomorrow may not show
+
Say your sorries, 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
+
Until you can't
+
'Til you can't
+
Yeah, take it
+
