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 mornin she woke up
And loaded up her pickup truck
Took one last look at her old life
Then hit the gas n said goodbye
In her faded jeans
And her old baseball cap
All she knows for sure
She aint comin back
This isnt how she thought
Shed ever spend this day
Sittin behind the wheel
On the interstate
40 was quite a ride
But shes changin roads tonight
And its such a bittersweet way
To celebrate
Shes turning 50 today
Shes left that Oklahoma town
The only world she had known til now
And memories of almost 20 years
She watched them in that rearview mirror
Fade away.. aww, but thats alright
Yeah this could be..
The time of her life
This isnt how she thought
Shed ever spend this day
Sittin behind the wheel
On the interstate
40 was quite a ride
But shes changin roads tonight
And its such a bittersweet way to celebrate
Shes turning 50 today
Oh, the wind blows her down wind blows her down
And the wind blows her hair wind blows her hair
Where she goes..
Could be anywhere
40 was quite a ride
But shes changin roads tonight
Tomorrows a mystery
Oh n she cant wait she cant wait
Shes turnin 50
Shes turnin 50
Oh, Shes turning 50 today
