[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.

[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.
