lyrics

Somebody dropped the reigns so the horse ran off again
Nobody told us why all the meanings were implied
Now he’s out there on the range without a penny to his name
But still he’s got a smile on his face

Because he get it while he can
Yes he get it while he can
No it may not come again
He’s gonna get it while he can

Summer came and went and they tried to reel him in
And they tried to make him choose they did all that they could do
But then he sided with his own and now he’s out there all alone
But still he’s got that smile on his face

Because he get it while he can
Yes he get it while he can
No it may not come again
He’s gonna get it while he can

When you’re out there on the edge
You better take what you can get
Because it may not come again
You better get it while you can

But now he’s gonna have to make a few decisions
With the winter wind blowing at his door
Now he’s gonna have to make a few decisions
Will he welcome a helping had or wave it off

You’ll never see him caught trying to do what others want
He just wakes up every day and does it his own way
So when you see him standing there smiling ear to ear
You will understand what he represents

Because he get it while he can
Yes he get it while he can
No it may not come again
He’s gonna get it while he can

When you’re out there on the edge
You better take what you can get
Because it may not come again
You better get it while you can
