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 mama's heart was broke
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 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

Now don't you wonder what the preacher's
gonna preach about Sunday morn
Nothin' quite like this has happened here
before
Well he must have been a looker - 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 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 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's got her pretty little bare feet hangin'
out the window
And they're headin' up 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
