What Do You Say
Stuck at a red light outside and adult bookstore.
His son said, "Daddy, what are all the X's for".
As the light turned green he changed the subject fast.
He started talkin' 'bout football as the drove right past.
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 out of here oh what do you say.
Seventeen years old she was out with her friends.
They started drinkin' at some party 'til 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.
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 out of here oh what do you say.
Sometimes you've got to 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 want to 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.
