TRIPLE III TIME: “Til You Can’t”

May 17

I know I have written it before how I never really know where inspiration for certain TRIPLE III TIME messages come from.  Sometimes an idea just “sneaks” up on me and the writing almost happens effortlessly.  But his week’s message has been quietly building with me over the last year…and was then ignited when I heard the song: “Til You Can’t” sung by Cody Johnson.  Here are the lyrics:

​“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’tchase 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”

Bottomline:  The words contained in the song ARE this week’s TRIPLE III TIME message.  Whether the “Til You Can’t” motivation is driven by special friendships, co-workers past, child birth, graduations, weddings, job changes, retirements and/or unfortunately a death…reread this blog and:

​“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’tchase 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”
