| She was in the back yard
|
| Say it was a little past nine
|
| When her prince pulled up
|
| A white pick-up 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
|
| And so the story goes
|
| Now her Daddy’s in the kitchen
|
| Starin' out the window
|
| Scratchin' and a rackin' his brains
|
| How can eighteen 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
|
| Nothing quite like this
|
| Has happened here before
|
| Well he must of been looker
|
| A smooth talkin' son of a gun
|
| For such a grounded girl
|
| To just up and run
|
| Of course you can’t fence time
|
| And you can’t stop love
|
| Now all the biddies 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 the blink of an eye
|
| She left the suds in the bucket
|
| And the clothes hangin' out on the line
|
| Yee Hoo
|
| She’s got her pretty little bare feet
|
| Hangin' out the window
|
| And they’re headed 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
|
| She left the suds in the bucket
|
| And the clothes hangin' out on the line
|
| She was in the backyard
|
| Say it was a little past nine
|
| When her prince pulled up
|
| A white pick-up truck
|
| Plenty old enough
|
| And you can’t stop love
|
| And no you can’t fence time
|
| And you can’t stop love |
