Jesus, Take The Wheel

凱莉安德伍在農場環境下長大，3歲起就愛在教堂中高歌，一路唱到小學的音樂劇公演，在成長的歲月裡，鄉村樂以及80年代的流行樂始終是安德伍的最愛，就讀大學時，她無意間接觸到Patsy Cline、The Carter Family等鄉村傳奇藝人的事蹟，更加深了她對鄉村樂的熱情，在報名參加了歌唱競賽節目「美國偶像」比賽，獲得第4季的冠軍。因此，當她贏得了灌錄專輯的機會，鄉村樂曲風自然成了首張專輯的主軸，Take The Wheel 為專輯冠軍曲。此歌描述單親媽媽的辛酸與無奈，在信心枯竭並危險之時，將一切擺上交託於主，讓主掌權。

She was drivin' last friday on her way to Cincinnati

On a snow white Christmas Eve
在一個白色聖誕節的前夕
Goin' home to see her Momma and her Daddy
準備回家探望父母
With her baby in a back seat
與她坐後座的小孩
Fifty miles to go and she was runnin' low
On faith and gasoline
離家還有50哩要走，然而她的信心和汽油卻將要耗盡
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

Before she knew it she was spinnin on thin black sheet of glass
在她回神之前她已經在一片黑色玻璃板上打轉
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
她的一生在她雙眼閃過
She didn't even have time to cry

She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air
她非常的害怕, 她舉起她的雙手

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder and that car came to a stop
她把車停在路肩而天氣變得越來越冷
She cried when she saw that baby in the back seat sleepin' like a rock
當她看到後座嬰孩依然熟睡, 她終於痛哭失聲
For the first time in a long time she bowed her head to pray
