Suds in the bucket Lyrics

Suds in the bucket Lyrics

* she was in the backyard- they say it was a little past nine* When her prince pulled up- a white pickup 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"* That was all she wrote- her mamma's heart was broke* That was all she wrote- so the story goes* (chorus)* Now her daddy's in the kitchen-starin' out the window* scratchin' and a rackin' his brains* How could 18 years just up and walk away* Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman* Now shes gone in the blink of an eye* She left suds in the bucket* And the clothes out on the line* 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 have been a looker- smooth talkin' son of gun* For such a grounded girl - to just up and run * Course you cant fence time -and you cant stop love* (2nd chorus) Now all the biddy's in the beauty shop gossip goin' non-stop* Sippin on pink lemonade* How could 18 years just up and walk away* Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman * Now shes gone in the blink of an eye* She left the suds in the bucket* and the clothes hangin' out on the line*(instrumental) (3rd chorus) * She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window* And they're headin' to Vegas tonight* How could 18 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
