i love this song it is such a great song. i just figured out (over the last 3 days) how to do a fingerpicking version on a nylon guitar
i cant play it and sing it all the way through w/o messing up yet but i want to keep trying till i can and play it as country as possible with a walking base line
anyway enjoy the original no-mistakes version that inspired me so much and see how this song = awesome

On her way to Cincinnati

On a thin black sheet of glass

Jesus take the wheel

Take it from my hands

I know I've got to change, so from now on tonight

I watched some hack sing this shit on american idol in passing last night, shit was bunk.
I said if you're really wanting Jesus to stop you from crashing your car, you'll end up in the morgue. Gotta take the wheel yourself. On the real. Drive that shit.
