SHE WAS DRIVIN'
LAST FRIDAY
ON HER WAY
TO CINCINNATI
ON A SNOW WHITE
CHRISTMAS EVE
GOIN' HOME
TO SEE HER MAMA
AND HER DADDY
WITH THE BABY
IN THE BACKSEAT
FIFTY MILES TO GO
AND SHE WAS RUNNIN'
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 GOIN'
WAY TOO FAST
AND BEFORE
SHE KNEW IT
SHE WAS SPINNIN'
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
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
4 BAR
BREAK
IT WAS STILL
GETTIN' 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
SLEEPIN'
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 LIVIN' 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
WHOA WHOA
OOH OOH OOH OOH
OOH OOH OOH
