She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
With the baby in the backseat. Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline.

It'd been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way too fast before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She was going way too fast before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry. She was so scared. She threw her hands up in the air
She didn't even have time to cry. She was so scared. She threw her hands up in the air
Jesus, take the wheel. Take it from my hands 'cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go, So give me one more chance to save me from this road I'm on.
Jesus, take the wheel
Jesus, take the wheel
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder and the car came to a stop.
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Sleeping like a rock. And for the first time in a long time
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Sleeping like a rock. And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray, she said I'm sorry for the way I've been living my life
I know I've got to change so from now on tonight,
Jesus, take the wheel, take it from my hands 'cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go so give me one more chance to save me from this road I'm on
Oh Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go so give me one more chance.
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
oh, oh, oh wooh
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
oh, oh, oh wooh
