Some songs don’t just entertain—they stop you in your tracks and remind you what really matters. Cody Johnson’s “’Til You Can’t” is one of those songs.

The message is simple but powerful: don’t wait. Don’t put off the important things in life, because one day, you won’t have the chance.

Cherish Your Loved Ones

The song encourages us to make time for family and friends. Call your parents, visit that loved one, hug your kids a little tighter. Life is unpredictable, and those opportunities aren’t guaranteed forever.

Chase Your Dreams

Johnson also speaks to the urgency of going after what you want in life. Write the book, start the business, take the trip. Too often, we let fear or procrastination hold us back until the window of opportunity closes.

Act With Gratitude and Purpose

The heart of the song is about living intentionally. It’s about recognizing that every day is a gift, and the best way to honor it is by taking action—whether that’s showing love, pursuing passions, or simply being present.

“’Til You Can’t” is more than a country hit—it’s a call to live with urgency, to love deeply, and to stop waiting for the “perfect time.” Because one day, the chance will be gone.

So pick up the phone, start the project, say “I love you.” Do it while you can.
