Suds in the Bucket

SUDS IN THE BUCKET

SHE WAS IN THE BACKYARD,

THEY SAY IT WAS A LITTLE PAST NINE,

WHEN HER PRINCE PULLED UP, A WHITE PICKUP TRUCK.

HER FOLKS SHOULDA SEEN IT COMIN,

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 GOTTA 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 18 YEARS JUST UP AND WALK AWAY,

OUR LITTLE PONY TAILED GIRL’S GROWED 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.
