Verse 1
C She was in the backyard F say it was a little past C nine,
When her prince pulled F up, a G white pickup C truck.
C Her folks should've seen it coming it was F only just a matter of C time.
Plenty old e-Fnough, G and you can't stop C love.
C She stuck a note on the screen door, F sorry but I got to C go,
And that was all she F wrote, G her momma's heart was C broke,
And that was all she F wrote, G so the story C goes...
Chorus
Now her Am daddy's in the kitchen,
G Starin' out the window, F scratchin' and rackin' his C brains
"How could Am eighteen years just G up and walk aF-way?"
Our little Am pony-tailed girl, growed G up to be a woman,
Now she's F gone in the blink of an C eye.
She left the C suds in the bucket,
And the G clothes hangin out on the C line. G C
Verse 2
C Now don't you wonder what the preacher's gonna F preach about Sunday C morn?,
Nothin' quite like F this, G has happened here be-Cfore.
Well he must've been a looker, a F smooth-talkin' son-of-a-Cgun,
For such a grounded F girl, G to just up and C run.
'Course you can't fence F time, G and you can't stop C love.
Chorus
Now all the Am bitties in the beauty shop,
G Gossip going non-stop, F sippin' on pink lemon-Cade
"How could Am eighteen years just G up and walk aF-way?"
Our little Am pony-tailed girl, growed G up to be a woman,
Now she's F gone in the blink of an C eye.
She left the C suds in the bucket,
And the G clothes hangin' out on the C line, ye-hoo!
