Ain't Necessarily So Lyrics - Willie Nelson

You can't break your eggs to count your chickens 

And you can't 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 aught to be 

Ain't necessarily so 

I laugh when I can and I live with the rest 

I learned that holdin' on means lettin' 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 

Basin' all the rules on the proof that you can 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 feelin' 

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 and I live with the rest 

I learned that holdin' on means lettin' 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
