The Pocket Knife

[Verse]
Please don't make my wedding dress
I'm too young to marry yet
Can you see my pocket knife?
You can't make me be a wife
How the world just turns and turns
How does anybody learn?

[Verse]
Mama, put your needle down
How did you feel when you were young?
'Cause I feel like I've just been born
Even though I'm getting on
How the world slips by so fast
How does anybody last?

[Chorus]
As the world keeps coming
And the bees keep humming
And I'll keep running

[Verse]
Flowers I can do without
I don't wanna be tied down
White material will stain
My pocket knife's got a shiny blade
I'm not trying to break your heart
I'm just trying not to fall apart

[Chorus]
As the world keeps coming
And the bees keep humming
And I'll keep running

[Outro]
Please don't make my wedding dress
I'm too young to marry yet
Can you see my pocket knife?
You can't make me be a wife
