Suds in the Bucket Sara Evans
she was in the b[G]ackyard say it was a lit[C]tle past nine[G]
[G]when her prince pulled [C]up
a white pickup [G]truck
her folks should have seen it comin'
it was [C]only just a matter of [G]time
plenty old eno[C]ugh
and you cant stop l[G]ove
she stuck a note on the screen door "[C]sorry but i got to [G]go"
that was all she [C]wrote her mama's heart was [G]broke
and that was all she [C]wrote and so the story [G]goes
[Em]now her daddys in the kitchen s[D]tarin' out the window
[C]scratchin and a rackin at his [G]braids
[Em]how could eighteen years just get up and walk a[C]way
[Em]our little ponytailed girl grown [D]up to be a woman
now shes [C]gone in the blink of an e[G]ye
she left the suds in the bucket and the [D]clothes hangin out on a [G]line
[G]now dont you wonder what the preachers gonna [C]preach about sunday [G]morn
nothin' quite like [C]this has happened here be[G]fore
well he must have been a looker [C]smooth talkin son of a [G]gun
for such a grounded [C]girl just up and [G]run
course you cant fence [C]time and you cant stop [G]love
[G]Now all the biddy's in the beaty shop gossi[D]p goin' nonstop
[C]sippin on pink lemo[G]nade
[Em]how could eighteen years just u[D]p and walk a[C]way
Our little [Em]pony-tailed girl growed [D]up to be a woman
Now she's g[C]one in the blink of an [G]eye
She left the [G]suds in the bucket
And the [D]clothes hangin' out on the [G]line
[Em]She's got her pretty little bare feet h[D]angin' out the window
And they're [C]headin' up to Vegas to[G]night
How could 18 years just get [D]up and walk away
Our little [Em]pony-tailed girl grown [D]up to be a woman
Now she's [C]gone in the blink of an [G]eye
She left the [G]suds in the bucket
And the c[D]lothes hangin' out on the l[G]ine
