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

Oh, she knows for sure, she ain't coming back

This isn't how she thought

She'd ever 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 'til now

And memories of those 20 years

She watched them in that rearview mirror

Fade away, oh, but that's alright

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

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 (her windows are down)

Then the wind blows her hair (the wind blows her hair)

Where she goes could be anywhere

40 was quite alright

But she's changing roads tonight

Tomorrow's a mystery

Oh, and she can't wait (she can't wait)

She's turning 50

She's turning 50

Oh, she's turning 50 today
