  I tend listen to country on my long commute because it is less stressful in bad traffic
  				
   and they seem to have a traffic report more often? 
  				
   
  				
  Every time I hear the song Suds in the Bucket by Sara EvansI can?t help but think of a young 
  				
  intelligent woman 
  						who has seen the ?truth? to the WTS, and chooses after graduation of just walking 
  				
  out the door and leaving the cult.. and how the parents would scratch their heads and think she must 
  				
  have left because of the boy.. because of course, no one would ever quit for any other reason..
  				
  Any way? I changed just a COUPLE of the words.. and see how it fits?? 
  				
   
  				
   
  				
    

  Bible in her Bookbag

  She was in the backyard -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 truth

  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

  Chorus

  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 growed up to be a woman

  Now she's gone in the blink of an eye

  She left her bible in her bookbag

  And her dress clothes hangin' out on the line

  Instrumental

  Now don't you wonder what the elders' gonna preach about next local needs

  Nothin' quite like this has happened here before

  Well he must have been a looker - 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 truth

  2nd Chorus

  Now all the biddy's in the field service gossip goin' non-stop

  Sippin' on pink lemonade

  How could 18 years just up and walk away

  Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman

  Now she's gone in the blink of an eye

  She left her bible in her bookbag

  And her dressclothes hangin' out on the line

  Yee-Hoo!

  Instrumental

  3rd Chorus

  She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window

  And they're headin' up to Vegas tonight

  How could 18 years just up and walk away

  Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman

  Now she's gone in the blink of an eye

  She left her bible in her bookbag

  And her dressclothes hangin' out on the line

  She left her bible in her bookbag

  And her dressclothes hangin' out on the line

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

  When her prince pulled up - a white pickup truck

  Plenty old enough - and you can't stop truth

  No you can't fence time - and you can't stop ... TRUTH!!

  Ohhhhhhhh Sassy that is so cute!!!!!!! I love that song, as I find myself listening more to country music here lately. My kids,,,,,,,,especially my punk rock loving little daughter ,,,,,,,,,,HATES it when I sing that song. I do it around the house just to irritate her and she blames me for the song getting stuck in her head.........." SUDS IN THE BUCKET",,,,,,,,,she can't help but sing it too!!

  She also hated that song,,,,,"Redneck Woman" and I got that stuck in her head as well. I still doubt she will ever give up Avril for Gretchen thou.

  Aw, Sassy , you dont have to make excuses. to us.... some people actually like Country.....(???)

  Over here country music is a minority interest , just one radio show a week on the BBC.

  I have not heard the song, but i agree it fits the dub world. Reminded me of The Beatles "She is Leaving Home" 

  BluesBrother , of the "Prefers R n B but dont knock it till you've heard it class"

  Hey Sassy, I just saw this post of yours. Very good, I like it.

  I never cared for that song until my little 5 yr-old niece started singing it. She sing it so cute!

  I am a huge Sara Evans fan!
