  • Her husband left on saturday.
    For a woman who was half her age.
    Sunday she just laid 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
    To all her jeans and her old baseball caps.
    Cause she knows for sure, she ain't comin' back.

    This is a house she though
    She'd never spend this day
    Sitting behind the wheel, on the interstate.
    40 was quite alright
    She's changing roads tonight.
    And its such a bittersweet
    Way to celebrate
    She's turning 50 today.

    She left that Oklahoma town
    The only world she had know till now.
    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 a house she thought
    She'd never spend this day
    Sitting behind the wheel, on the interstate
    40 was quite alright
    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
    Tomorrow's a mystery
    Oh, and she can't wait.
    She's turning 50
    She's turning 50
    She's turning 50 today Writer/s: ELIZABETH MALA HENGBER, REBA MCENTIRE, TOMMY LEE JAMES
