I know it’s probably not this persons fault because she just sings, and doesn’t write, but I would assume she has some right to choose…but why did Carrie U first sing “Jesus Take the Wheel” and then next have the song to be released be “Before He Cheats”?
Both songs involve cars.
One (with its ever-so-clever country style rhymes) points out that we just have to let go, and let Jesus take over. She’s got the baby in the backseat. And the road is like a sheet of glass from ice. Jesus has to take the wheel because she’s lost control of her car…and maybe her life. Wow.
The next song is about how she’s in a relationship that’s gone bad. The guy she’s dating is out with a girl who can’t even order strong drinks at the bar. I guess that means the girl is a weenie. So, in the song, Carrie decides to get him back by keying his car and carving her name into the backseat of his pretty little four-wheel drive. And maybe next time all that damage on his car will make him think before he takes another non-alcoholic girl to a bar that isn’t his girlfriend. He sounds like maybe he’s not a good pick to begin with.
Maybe she should have let Jesus take the wheel again…and the key. She could have just slipped a bible into the backseat of his pretty little four wheel drive with his name carved in the leather bound cover.
Apparently, this is her second bad relationship because the first guy should have been driving the car when she was on the ice, and it sounds like her rebound guy has no interest in her child—or maybe this was the first guy. Where’s the baby now? At home alone while she’s out keying a car?
I’m working on a new song for her called “Jesus Pick My Man.” It’s also a personal testimony and will be a ballad that all single girls should sing. I’m basing it off of an old Billy Graham sermon and the Bible.
Stay tuned.
