Stuck at a red light outside an adult bookstore

His son said, "Daddy, what are all those X's for?"

As the light turned green he changed the subject fast

Started talkin' 'bout football as they drove right past So what do you say in a moment like this?

When you can't find the words ohh, to tell it like it is

Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way

Let's get out of here

Oh, what do you say? Seventeen years old

She was out with her friends

They started drinkin' at some party

Till she was three sheets to the wind

Her momma always told her

She could call no matter what

She was cryin' on the front steps

When her mom showed up Well, what do you say in a moment like this?

When you can't find the words ohh, to tell it like it is

Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way

Let's get out of here

Oh, what do you say? Sometimes you gotta listen to the silence

And give yourself a little time to think Her every breath is weaker than the last

And lately when she sleeps, she talks about the past

Her husband knows she's tired of holdin' on

She looks at him and says, "I wanna go home" But what do you say in a moment like this?

When you can't find the words to tell it like it is

Just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way

Oh, what do you say? Ohh, just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way

Oh, what do you say?

Ooo, what do you say?
