Intro:  G5
G5
Her husband left on Saturday for a woman that was half her age
C5 
Sunday she just stayed in bed with the covers pulled over her head
G5
But on Monday morning she woke up and loaded up her pick-up truck.
C5                                   G5
Took one last look at her old life then hit the gas, and said goodbye
       A5                      C5
in her faded jeans and her old baseball cap.
        A5                        D5
All she knows for sure, she ain't comin back.

G5                           E5
This isn't how she thought, she'd ever spend this day
C5     D5                      G5
sitting behind the wheel, on the interstate.
G5                     E5
40 was quite alright, but she's changing roads tonight.
    C5        D5                 A5
and it's such a bittersweet way to celebrate.
C5             D5 (no chord)    G5
She's turning 50 today          

G5
She left that Oklahoma town, the only world she had know till now,
C5
And memories of those 20 years
G5                                        A5
She watched them in her rear-view mirror fade away
        C5
oh, but that?s all right
      A5                     D5
Yeah, this could be the time of her life.






G5                           E5
This isn't how she thought, she'd ever spend this day
C5     D5                       G5
sitting behind the wheel, on the interstate.
G5                         E5
40 was quite alright, but she's changing roads tonight.
    C5        D5                 A5
and it's such a bittersweet way to celebrate.
C5             D5          G5
She's turning 50 today          


G5
Oh, her windows are down.
E5
And the wind blows her hair
C5           D5
Where she goes, could be anywhere.
