She was in the back yard Say it was a little past nine When her prince pulled upA 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
