[Verse 1]
G
Her husband left on Saturday for a woman that was half her age
Cadd9 G
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 2]
G
She left that Oklahoma town, the only world she had know till now,
Cadd9 G
And memories of those 20 years, she watched them in her rear-view mirror
Am C
fade away, oh, but that's all right
Am D
Yeah, this could be the time of her life.
[Chorus]
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 Em
and it's such a bittersweet way to celebrate.
C D*
She's turning 50 today.
[Bridge]
G
Oh, her windows are down. (windows are down.)
Em7
And the wind blows her hair (wind blows her hair)
Cadd9 D
Where she goes, could be anywhere.
[Solo]

[Chorus]
G Em7
40 was quite alright, but she's changing roads tonight
Cadd9 D Em7
tomorrow's a mystery oh, and she can't wait. (She can't wait.)
Cadd9 D Em7 Cadd9
She's turning 50, She's turning 50,
Cadd9 D* G
Oh she's turning 50 today.
