Suds In The Bucket
***Capo 3rd Fret***
G C G
She was in the backyard, say it was a little past nine.
C G
When her prince pulled up, a white pickup truck.
G
Her folks should’ve seen it coming,
C G
it was only just a matter of time.
C G
Plenty old enough and you can’t stop love.
G C G
She stuck a note on the screen door, ‘sorry but I got to go’.
C G
And that was all she wrote, her mama’s heart was broke.
C G
That was all she wrote, so the story goes.
(Chorus)
Em D
Now her daddy’s in the kitchen, staring out the window.
C G
Scratchin’ and a rackin’ his brains.
Em D C
How can eighteen years just up and walk away.
Em D
Our little pony tailed girl grown up to be a woman,
C G
now she’s gone in the blink of an eye.
G
She left her suds in the bucket,
D G
and her clothes hanging out on the line.
G
Now don’t you wonder what the preacher’s
C G
gonna preach about Sunday mornin’.
C G
Nothing quite like this, has happened here before.
G
Well he must’ve been a looker,
C G
a smooth talking son-of-a-gun.
C G
For such a grounded girl, to just up and run.
C G
Cause you can’t fence time, and you can’t stop love.
(Chorus)
Em D
Now all the Betty’s in the beauty shop, gossip going nonstop,
C G
sippin’ on pink lemonade.
Em D C
How could eighteen years just up and walk away.
Em D
Our little pony tailed girl grown up to be a woman,
C G
now she’s gone in a blink of an eye.
G
She left her suds in the bucket,
D G
and her clothes hanging out on the line.
(Chorus)
Em
She’s got her pretty little bare feet,
D C G
hanging out the window, and they’re headed up to Vegas tonight.
Em D C
How could eighteen years just up and walk away.
Em D
Our little pony tailed girl grown up to be a woman,
C G
now she’s gone in the blink of an eye.
G
She left her suds in the bucket,
D G
and her clothes hanging out on the line.
G
She left her suds in the bucket,
D G
and her clothes hanging out on the line.
G C G
She was in the backyard, say it was a little past nine.
C G
When her prince pulled up, a white pickup truck
C G
Plenty old enough and you can’t stop love.
C G
No you can’t fence time, and you can’t stop love.
