she was in the backyard say it was a little past nine
G                      c
when her prince pulled up
               G 
a white pickup truck
     
her folks should have seen it comin' 
       c                     G
it was only just a matter of time
              c  
plenty old enough
                   G
and you cant stop love
                                     c                  G
she stuck a note on the screen door "sorry but i got to go"
                 c                          G   
that was all she wrote her mama's heart was broke
                     c                      G
and that was all she wrote and so the story goes


Em                             D                   
now her daddys in the kitchen starin' out the window 
c                             G 
scratchin and a rackin at his braids
Em                                             c
how could eighteen years just get up and walk away
Em                               D                
our little ponytailed girl grown up to be a woman
         c                        G
now shes gone in the blink of an eye
                                        D                       G
she left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin out on a line


G                                            c                   G

                   c                        G
nothin' quite like this has happened here before
                                c                      G
well he must have been a looker smooth talkin son of a gun
                    c                G
for such a grounded girl just up and run
                      c                      G

G                                          D               
Now all the biddy's in the beaty shop gossip goin' nonstop 
c                  G
sippin on pink lemonade
Em                             D           c
how could eighteen years just up and walk away
           Em                      D
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
           c                      G
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
             G               
She left the suds in the bucket
        D                          G
And the clothes hangin' out on the line

Em                                     D            
She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window
            c                     G
And they're headin' up to Vegas tonight
                            D   
How could 18 years just get up and walk away
