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 He started talkin' 'bout football as they drove right past
CHORUS: 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 drinken' at some party 'til she was three sheets to the wind Her momma always told her she can call no matter what She was cryin' on the front steps when her mom showed up
Repeat Chorus
Sometimes you 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 holding 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
