she was in the backyard say it was a little past nine
G Cwhen her prince pulled up
Ga white pickup truck
her folks should have seen it comin'
C Git was only just a matter of time
Cplenty old enough
and you cant stop love
C Gshe stuck a note on the screen door "sorry but i got to go"
C Gthat was all she wrote her mama's heart was broke
and that was all she wrote and so the story goes
Em D
now her daddys in the kitchen starin' out the window
scratchin and a rackin at his braids
Em Chow could eighteen years just get up and walk away
Em Dour little ponytailed girl grown up to be a woman
now shes gone in the blink of an eye
D Gshe left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin out on a line
now dont you wonder what the preachers gonna preach about sunday morn
C Gnothin' quite like this has happened here before
C Gwell he must have been a looker smooth talkin son of a gun
for such a grounded girl just up and run
C Gcourse you cant fence time and you cant stop love
G D
Now all the biddy's in the beaty shop gossip goin' nonstop
C Gsippin on pink lemonade
how could eighteen years just up and walk away
Em DOur little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
C GNow she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
D GAnd the clothes hangin' out on the line
Em D
She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window
C GAnd they're headin' up to Vegas tonight
How could 18 years just get up and walk away
Em DOur little pony-tailed girl grown up to be a woman
C GNow she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
D GAnd the clothes hangin' out on the line
