[Verse 1]
Her husband left on Saturday
For a woman who was half her age
Sunday, she just lay 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
Because she knows for sure, she isn't coming back

[Chorus]
This is a house she though
She'd never spend this day
Sitting behind the wheel, on the inter-state
40 was quite alright
She's changing roads tonight
And it's such a bittersweet
Way to celebrate
She's turning 50 today

[Verse 2]
She left that Oklahoma town
The only world she had known until 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
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Oh, her windows are down
The wind blows her hair
There she goes, could be anywhere

[Chorus]
