She’s Turning 50 Today

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
Cause she knows for sure, she ain't comin back.

This is a house she thought
She'd never 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 known till now.
And memories of those 20 years
She watched them in that rear-view mirror fade away
Oh, but that's 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
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

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
