Ain't Necessarily So - Willie Nelson

You can break your eggs to count your chickens

And you can break your neck to keep your ducks all in a row

But don’t think every chance you take

Has to mean a new mistake

It ain’t necessarily so Now depending on the soil and the season

You can plant a seed and you can watch it grow

But you can’t have a guarantee,

Cause everything that ought to be ain’t necessarily so I laugh when I can

I live with the rest

I learn that holding on means letting go I try to be a friend

To the person on my left

They say you just can’t be too careful who you know

But that ain’t necessarily so

I’d like to have more faith in human logic

Basing all the rules on the proof that you could show

But I can’t take my guesses back

That I based on all those facts

That ain’t necessarily so And every time I follow what I’m feeling

I end up in the same place my heart would have me go If there’s one rule of life I trust

It’s everything outside your gut

ain’t necessarily so I laugh when I can

I live with the rest

I learn that holding on means letting go I try to be a friend

To the person on my left

They say you just can’t be too careful who you know

But that ain’t necessarily so
