She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Goin' home to see her mama & 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:]
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
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
This song was an inspiration to me when I was at a point in my life when I knew I couldn't handle things on my own. When I found myself at a point of giving up because on my own, I thought there was no way out. One morning at 3am while I cried, I turned on the TV and it happened to be on CMT and this video had just come on. I didn't even need to see the video. In the words, It was like a divine voice was telling me that I couldnt do things alone but that there was someone who would take the wheel when I couldnt. It has been my favorite since. Carrie is on her way to truly being an American Idol!!!!

vocal 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.
