Her husband left on saturday.
For a woman who was half her age.
Sunday she just layed 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 then said goodbye

To all her faded jeans and her old baseball caps.
all she knows for sure she aint comin back.


This isn't how she thought
She'd ever spend this day
Sitting behind the wheel on the interstate.

40 was quite a ride
but She's changing roads tonight.
And its 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

She's changing roads tonight
And it's such a bittersweet way to celebrate
She's turning 50 today.


Oh her windows are down
The wind blows her hair

where she goes could be anywhere

40 was quite alright

But she's changing roads tonight
Tommorrow's a mystery
Oh and she can't wait.

She's turning 50
She's turning 50
She's turning 50 today
