Chords and lyrics for Suds in the Bucket by Sara Evans (key of G).
Verse 1
[G]she was in the backyard, [C]say it was a little past [G]nine
[G]when her prince pulled [C]up
a white pickup [G]truck
her folks should have seen it comin'
it was [C]only just a matter of [G]time
plenty old [C]enough
and you can't stop [G]love
she stuck a note on the screen door, [C]"sorry but I got to [G]go"
and that was all she [C]wrote, her mama's heart was [G]broke
and that was all she [C]wrote and so the story [G]goes
Pre-Chorus
[Em]now her daddy's in the kitchen [D]starin' out the window
a [C]scratchin' and a rackin' his [G]brains
Chorus
[Em]how could eighteen years just [D]up and walk [C]away
[Em]our little ponytailed girl grown [D]up to be a woman
now she's [C]gone in a blink of an [G]eye
she left the suds in the bucket and the [D]clothes hangin' out on the [G]line
Verse 2
[G]now don't you wonder what the preacher's gonna [C]preach about Sunday [G]morn
nothin' quite like [C]this has happened here [G]before
well, he must have been a looker, a [C]smooth talkin' son of a [G]gun
for such a grounded [C]girl to just up and [G]run
cause you can't fence [C]time and you can't stop [G]love
Pre-Chorus
Now all the [Em]biddies in the beauty shop, [D]gossip goin' nonstop
[C]sippin' on pink [G]lemonade
Chorus
[Em]how could eighteen years just [D]up and walk [C]away
Our little [Em]pony-tailed girl grown [D]up to be a woman
Now she's [C]gone in a blink of an [G]eye
She left the [G]suds in the bucket
And the [D]clothes hangin' out on the [G]line
Pre-Chorus
She's got her [Em]pretty little bare feet [D]hangin' out the window
And they're [C]headin' up to Vegas [G]tonight
Chorus
How could [Em]18 years just up[D] and walk [C]away
Our little [Em]pony-tailed girl grown [D]up to be a woman
Now she's [C]gone in a blink of an [G]eye
She left the [G]suds in the bucket
And the [D]clothes hangin' out on the [G]line

a white pickup [G]truck

and you can't fence [C]time, and you can't stop[G] love
