Stuck at a red light outside an adult book store

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

As the light turned green he changed the subject fast

Started talking 'bout football, as they rode right past



So what do you say, in a moment like this?

When you can't find the words

Oh To tell it like it is

Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way

Let's get outta 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



But what do you say, in a moment like this?

When you can't find the words

Oh ,To tell it like it is

Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way

Let's get outta here

Oh, what do you say?



Sometimes you've gotta listen to the silence

and give youself 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?



Ohhhhh, just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way

Oh, what do you say?

Oh, what do you say
