Suds in the bucket 05-24
She was in the back yard, say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up, a white pick-up truck
Her folks shoulda seen it comin' it was only just a matter of time
Plenty old enough and you can't stop love
She stuck a note on the screen door sorry, but I got to go
And that was all she wrote, her Mama's heart was broke
And that was all she wrote, so the story goes
Now her Daddy's in the kitchen starin' out the window
Scratchin' and a rackin' his brains
How could eighteen years just up and walk away
Our little pony tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the line
instrumentaal
Now don't you wonder what the preacher's gonna preach about Sunday morn'
Nothing quite like this has happened here before
Well, he must of been a looker a smooth talkin' son of a gun
For such a grounded girl to just up and run
Course you can't fence time and you can't stop love
Now all the biddies in the beauty shop gossip goin' non-stop
sippin' on pink lemonade
How could eighteen years just up and walk away
Our little pony tailed girl growed up to be a woman
now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the line
Yee Hoo
She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window
and they're headed up to Vegas tonight
How could eighteen years just up and walk away
Our little pony tailed girl growed up to be a woman
now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the line
She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the line
She was in the backyard, say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up, a white pick-up truck
Plenty old enough and you can't stop love
And no, you can't fence time and you can't stop love
