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