Her husband left on Saturday for a woman that was half her age

Sunday she just stayed in bed with the covers pulled over her head

Took one last look at her old life then hit the gas, and said goodbye
A minorAm C majorC
in her faded jeans and her old baseball cap.
A minorAm D MajorD
All she knows for sure, she ain't comin back.

This isn't how she thought, she'd ever spend this day

sitting behind the wheel, on the interstate.

40 was quite alright, but she's changing roads tonight.

and it's such a bittersweet way to celebrate.
