Intro
Her husband left on Saturday for a woman that was half her age
Sunday she just stayed in bed with the covers pulled over her head
But on Monday morning she woke up and loaded up her pick-up truck.
Took one last look at her old life then hit the gas, and said goodbye
in her faded jeans and her old baseball cap.
All she knows for sure, she ain't comin back.
This isn't how she thought, she'd ever spend this day
sitting behind the wheel, on the interstate.
40 was quite alright, but she's changing roads tonight.
and it's such a bittersweet way to celebrate.
She's turning 50 today
She left that Oklahoma town, the only world she had know till now,
And memories of those 20 years
She watched them in her rear-view mirror fade away
oh, but thats all right
Yeah, this could be the time of her life.
This isn't how she thought, she'd ever spend this day
sitting behind the wheel, on the interstate.
40 was quite alright, but she's changing roads tonight.
and it's such a bittersweet way to celebrate.
She's turning 50 today
Oh, her windows are down.
And the wind blows her hair
Where she goes, could be anywhere.
Solo
40 was quite alright, but she's changing roads tonight
tomorrow's a mystery oh, and she can't wait.
She's turning 50,
She's turning 50,
She's turning 50 today.
