'Til You Can't

One, two, three

You can tell your old man

You'd do some large-mouth fishing another time

You got too much on your plate, to bake and cast a line

He can always put a rain check in his hand

'Til you can't, 'til you can't

You can keep putting up forever

With that girl whose heart you hold

Swear him that you'll ask someday

Further down the road

You can always put a diamond on her hand

'Til you can't, '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 him as long and as strong and as close as you can

'Til you can't, 'til you can't

Now, there's a box of greasy parts

Sitting in the trunk of that 65

Still waiting on you and your grandpa

To bring it back to life

You can always get around to fixing up that old Pontiac

'Til you can't, '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 the dream won't chase you back

If you're gonna love somebody

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

'Til you can't, 'til 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 who died for all our sins

Hanging from the cross, you can give your life to Jesus

And He'll give you a second chance

'Til you can't, '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 the dream won't chase you back

If you're gonna love somebody

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

'Til you can't, '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 them as long and as strong and as close as you can

'Til you can't, 'til you can't

'Til you can't

'Tll you can't
