    Story Behind the Song
    Upbeat contemporary Bluegrass song, featuring Wil's superb singing and songwriting, past and present members of her band Shady Mix, plus Dobro Wizzard Rob Ickes. "The Turning of a Century" is an anthem for those making big changes in their lives. It is also the title track of her latest album.

    Lyrics
    Anna cut the porchlight
    and latched the back screen door.
    She'd waited long enough tonight.
    She wasn't waiting anymore.
    No more waiting for a phone call
    or his Plymouth in the drive.
    No more waiting for her life to change.
    She was going to change her li fe.

    Eddie didn't punch the clock today
    like countless days before.
    Today he packed his cup away
    and cleaned out all the drawers.
    The day that he'd been waiting for
    for nearly forty years,
    The day of his awakening,
    That day was finally here.

    It's the turning of a century
    It's the cleansing of the slate.
    It's the burning of your history.
    Now it's time to make the change.
    An overdue decision only you can understand.
    No longer riding shotgun,
    The wheel is in your hand.

    So if you look into the mirror
    and you don't like what you see.
    If you look into your heart and
    you don't like the way you feel.
    If it's just a change of attitude,
    or a change of scenery,
    If you've lived a life that's less than right,
    This might be what you need....

    It's the turning of a century
    It's the cleansing of the slate.
    It's the burning of your history.
    Now it's time to make the change.
    An overdue decision only you can understand.
    No longer riding shotgun,
    The wheel is in your hand...
    It's all in your hands.
