Live performance at the 38th Annual CMA Awards at Nashville in 2004. Brooks and Dunn were the hosts."SUDS IN THE BUCKET" ------ LyricShe was in the backyard, say it was a little past nineWhen her prince pulled up, a white pickup truckHer folks should of seen it comin' it was only just a matter of timePlenty old enough, and you can't stop love.She stuck a note on the screen door "sorry but I got to go"That was all she wrote, her mamma's heart was brokeThat was all she wrote, so the story goes(Chorus) Now her daddy's in the kitchen starin' out the window, scratchin' and a rackin' his brainsHow could 18 years just up and walk away?Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a womanNow she's gone in the blink of an eyeShe left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the lineNow don't you wonder what the preacher's gonna preach about sunday mornin' Nothing quite like this has happened here beforeWell he must have been a looker, a smooth talkin' son of gunFor such a grounded girl to just up and runCourse you can't fence time, and you can't stop love(2nd Chorus) Now all the biddies in the beauty shop gossip goin' non stop Sippin on pink lemonadeHow could 18 years just up and walk away?Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a womanNow she's gone in the blink of an eyeShe left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the lineYEEEHAW!(3rd chorus) She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window And they're headed up to Vegas tonightHow could 18 years just up and walk awayOur little pony tailed girl growed up to be a womanNow she's gone in the blink of an eyeShe left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the lineShe left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the lineShe was in the backyard, say it was a little past nineWhen her prince pulled up, a white pick up truckPlenty old enough, and you can't stop loveNo you can't fence time, and you can't stop love yehoo!
