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