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
