She was in the backyard say it was a little past nine,
When her prince pulled up, a white pickup truck,
(verse 2)
Her folks should've seen it comming it was just a matter of time,
Pleanty old enough, when you can't stop love,
(verse 3)
She stuck a not on the screen door, sorry but I got to go,
That was all she wrote, her momma's heart was broke,
That was all she wrote, so the story goes,
(chorus)
Now her daddy's in the kitchen,
Starin out the window scratchin and rackin his brains,
How could eighteen years just up and walk away,
A little pony tailed girl, growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the a blink of an eye,
She left the suds in the bucket,
E A - E - A
Now don't you wonder what the preachers gonna preach about Sunday mornin,
Nothin quit like this, it's happened here before,
(verse 5)
Well he must've been a looker, a smooth talkin sun-of-a-gun,
For such a grounded girl, to just up and run,
Cause you can't fence time, and you can't stop love,
(chorus)
Now all the bitty's in the beautyshop,
Guess I'm going non-stop, sippin on pink lemonade,
How could eighteen years just up and walk away,
A little pony tailed girl, growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the a blink of an eye,
She left the suds in the bucket,
And the clothes hangin out on the line, ye-hoo
(chorus)
She's got her pretty little bare feet,
Hangin out the window and their 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 the a blink of an eye,
She left the suds in the bucket,
And the clothes hangin out on the line,
(ending verse)
She was in the backyard say it was a little past nine,
When her prince pulled up, a white pickup truck,
Pleanty old enough, when you can't stop love,
No you can't fence time, and you can't stop love,
