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 jeans and her old baseball caps.

Cause she knows for sure, she aint comin back.



This is a house she though

She'd never spend this day

Sitting behind the wheel, on the interstate.

40 was quite alright

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.

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 is a house she thought

She'd never 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

There 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
