What Do You Say

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 talking about football as they drove right past So what do you say in a moment like this When you can't find the words 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 drinking at some party Till she was three sheets to the wind Her momma always told her she could call no matter what She was crying on the front steps When her mom showed up So what do you say in a moment like this When you can't find the words 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 holding on She looks at him and says I wanna go home 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 Just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way Oh what do you say Ooo, what do you say
