Suds in the bucket

G                        C       
she was in the backyard, say it 
                 G
was a little past nine
G                      C
when her prince pulled up
               G
a white pickup truck

her folks should have seen it comin'
       C                     G
it was only just a matter of time
              C
plenty old enough
                    G
and you can't stop love
she stuck a note on the screen door,
  C                  G
 "sorry but I got to go"
                     C         
and that was all she wrote, her 
                  G
mama's heart was broke
                     C           
and that was all she wrote and so 
           G
the story goes

[Pre-chorus]
Em                           
now her daddy's in the kitchen 
   D
starin' out the window
  C                           
a scratchin' and a rackin' his 
  G
brains

[Chorus]

Em                            D  
how could eighteen years just up 
           C
and walk away
Em                               
our little ponytailed girl grown up 
D
to be a woman
          C                      G
now she's gone in a blink of an eye
she left the suds in the bucket and 
    D                          G
the clothes hangin' out on the line

[Verse 2]
G                           
now don't you wonder what the 
                   C               
preacher's gonna preach about 
    G
Sunday morn
                   C               
nothin' quite like this has 
         G
happened here before
well, he must have been a looker, a 
C                       G
smooth talkin' son of a gun
                    C              
for such a grounded girl to just up
     G
 and run
                      C            
cause you can't fence time and you 
           G
can't stop love

[Pre-chorus]
            Em                   
Now all the biddy's in the beauty 
       D
shop, gossip goin' nonstop
C                   G
sippin' on pink lemonade

[Chorus]
Em                             D 
how could eighteen years just up 
          C
and walk away
           Em                     
Our little pony-tailed girl grown up
D
 to be a woman
           C                     G
Now she's gone in a blink of an eye
             G
She left the suds in the bucket
        D                          
And the clothes hangin' out on the 
G
line

[Pre-chorus]
              Em                
She's got her pretty little bare 
      D
feet hangin' out the window
            C                  
And they're headin' up to Vegas 
   G
tonight

[Chorus]
           Em             D       
How could 18 years just up and 
   C
walk away
           Em                     
Our little pony-tailed girl grown up
D
 to be a woman
          C                      G
Now she's gone in a blink of an eye
             G
She left the suds in the bucket
         D                         
And the clothes hangin' out on the 
 G
line
