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

When her prince pulled up, a white pick-up truck

Her folks shoulda seen it comin' it, it was only just a matter of time

Plenty 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 mama's heart was broke

That was all she wrote, so the story goes

Now her daddy's in the kitchen starin' out the window, scratchin' and a rackin' his brains

How could eighteen years just up and walk away?

Our little pony-tail 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 hangin' out on the line

Now don't you wonder what the preacher's gonna preach about Sunday mornin'

Nothing quite like this has happened here before

Well he must have been a looker, a smooth 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, gossip goin' non stop, sippin' on pink lemonade

How could eighteen years just up and walk away?

Our little pony-tail 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 hangin' out on the line

YEEEHOO!

She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window and they're headed up to Vegas tonight

How could eighteen years just up and walk away?

Our little pony-tail 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 hangin' out on the line

She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the line

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

When her prince pulled up, a 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.
