Song lyrics
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 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

CHORUS:
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
Save me from this road I'm on
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 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"

CHORUS

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, why?
Oh

I think it's allright.. She can sing but.. the song is just some put together crap cus they couldn't think of any better just so she could earn some money.

I love this song, but I can't buy it because I live in England and Carrie hasn't released any of her music here. The only way I can hear it is to go on her website.
Anyway, it's such a good song. I think most people have felt, at some time or another, like they are out of control and need someone else to take over.
