Strum
D-DU-UDU
 (verse 1)
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,
 And the clothes  hangin out on the line,
 (verse 4)
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
 (lead chords - A - D - A = 5x's)
 (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,
