She's Turning 50 Today

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
In her faded jeans and her old baseball cap.
All she knows for sure, she ain't comin back.
This is the 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 know 'till now.
And memories of those 20 years.
She watched them in her rear-view mirror.
Fade away
Oh, but that's all right
Yeah, this could be the time of her life.
This is the 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
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
Oh, she's turning 50
Today
