You can tell your old man
you'll do some largemouth
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
'Til you can't
You can keep puttin' off
forever with that
girl who's heart you hold
Swearin' 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
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
'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 mama
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 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
'Til you can't
'Til you can't
Yeah
Take it
