"Suds In The Bucket" by Sara Evans (Billy Montana/Tammy Wagoner)

1st Verse

She was in the backyard
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
And that was all she wrote
Her mama's heart was broke
And 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 eighteen years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in a blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line

2nd Verse

Now don't you wonder
What the preacher's gonna preach about Sunday morn'
Nothin' quite like this
Has ever happened here before
Well, he musta 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

2nd Chorus

Now all the bitties 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 a blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line
Yeehoo

3rd Chorus

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 a 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

Tag

She was in the backyard
Say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up
A white pickup truck
Plenty old enough
And you can't stop love
And no you can't fence time
And you can't stop love
