[Verse]
G
Her husband left on Saturday for a woman that was half her age
Cadd9
Sunday she just stayed in bed with the covers pulled over her head
G
But on Monday morning she woke up and loaded up her pick-up truck.
Cadd9 G
Took one last look at her old life then hit the gas, and said goodbye
Am C
in her faded jeans and her old baseball cap.
Am D
All she knows for sure, she ain't comin back.
G Em7
This isn't how she thought, she'd ever spend this day
Cadd9 D G
sitting behind the wheel, on the interstate.
G Em7
40 was quite alright, but she's changing roads tonight.
Cadd9 D Am
and it's such a bittersweet way to celebrate.
C D (no chord) G
She's turning 50 today.
G
She left that Oklahoma town, the only world she had know till now,
Cadd9
And memories of those 20 years
G Am
She watched them in her rear-view mirror fade away
C
oh, but that?s all right
Am D
Yeah, this could be the time of her life.
G Em7
This isn't how she thought, she'd ever spend this day
Cadd9 D G
sitting behind the wheel, on the interstate.
G Em7
40 was quite alright, but she's changing roads tonight.
Cadd9 D Am
and it's such a bittersweet way to celebrate.
C D G
She's turning 50 today.
G
Oh, her windows are down.
Em7
And the wind blows her hair
Cadd9 D
Where she goes, could be anywhere.
