[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A D A
She was in the backyard say it was a little past nine,
D A
When her prince pulled up, a white pickup truck,
[Verse 2]
A D A
Her folks should've seen it comming it was just a matter of time,
D A
Pleanty old enough, when you can't stop love,
[Verse 3]
A D A
She stuck a not on the screen door, sorry but I got to go,
D A
That was all she wrote, her momma's heart was broke,
D A
That was all she wrote, so the story goes,
[Chorus]
F#m
Now her daddy's in the kitchen,
E D A
Starin out the window scratchin and rackin his brains,
F#m E D
How could eighteen years just up and walk away,
F#m E
A little pony tailed girl, growed up to be a woman
D A
Now she's gone in the a blink of an eye,
A
She left the suds in the bucket,
E A - E - A
And the clothes hangin out on the line,
[Verse 4]
A D A
Now don't you wonder what the preachers gonna preach about Sunday mornin,
D A
Nothin quit like this, it's happened here before,
[Verse 5]
A D A
Well he must've been a looker, a smooth talkin sun-of-a-gun,
D A
For such a grounded girl, to just up and run,
D A
Cause you can't fence time, and you can't stop love,
[Chorus]
F#m
Now all the bitty's in the beautyshop,
E D A
Guess I'm going non-stop, sippin on pink lemonade,
F#m E D
How could eighteen years just up and walk away,
F#m E
A little pony tailed girl, growed up to be a woman
D A
Now she's gone in the a blink of an eye,
A
She left the suds in the bucket,
E A
And the clothes hangin out on the line, ye-hoo
(lead chords - A - D - A (x5)
[Chorus]
F#m
She's got her pretty little bare feet,
E D A
Hangin out the window and their headed up to Vegas tonight,
F#m E D
How could eighteen years just up and walk away,
F#m E
Our little pony tailed girl, growed up to be a woman
D A
Now she's gone in the a blink of an eye,
A
She left the suds in the bucket,
E A
And the clothes hangin out on the line,
[Verse 6]
A D A
She was in the backyard say it was a little past nine,
D A
When her prince pulled up, a white pickup truck,
D A
Pleanty old enough, when you can't stop love,
D A
No you can't fence time, and you can't stop love,
