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 drove 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 holding 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
