Suds in the Bucket

Suds in the Bucket - Ameritz Tribute Standards (阿莫瑞茲致敬標準)

She was in the backyard say it was a little past nine

When her prince pulled up white pick up truck

Her folks should've seen it comin'

It was only just a matter of time

Plenty old enough and you can stop love

She stuck a note on the screen door

"Sorry but I got to go "

That was all she wrote

Her mommma's heart was broke

That was all she wrote

And so the story goes

Now her daddy's in the kitchen staring out the window

Scratchin' and rackin' his brain

How could eighteen years just up and walk away

Our little ponytail girl grown 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 hanging out on the line

Now don't you wonder what the preacher's gonna

Preach about Sunday morning

Nothing quite like this it's happened here before

Well he must've been a looker

A smoot-talkin son-of-a-gun

For such a grounded girl to just up and run

'Course you can't fence time and you can't stop love

Now all the biddies in the beauty shop

Just go and on stop sippin on pink lemonade

How could eighteen years just up and walk away

Our little ponytail girl grown 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 hanging out on the line

She's got her pretty little bare feet hanging out the window

And they're headed up to Vegas tonight

How could eighteen years just up and walk away

Our little ponytail girl grown up to be a woman

Now she's gone in the blink an eye

She left the suds in the bucket

And the clothes hanging out on the line

She left the suds in the bucket

And the clothes hanging out on the line

She was in the backyard say it was a little past nine

When her prince pulled up white pick up truck

Plenty old enough and you can't stop love

No you can't fence time and you can't stop love
