Willie Nelson / Beth Nielsen Chapman
Aint necessarily so
You can break your eggs to count your chickens
And you can break your neck to keep your ducks all in a row
But dont think every chance you take
Has to mean a new mistake
It aint necessarily so
Now depending on the soil and the season
You can plant a seed and you can watch it grow
But you cant have a guarantee,
Cause everything that ought to be
aint necessarily so
CHORUS
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 cant be too careful who you know
But that aint necessarily so
SOLO
Id like to have more faith in human logic
Basing all the rules on the proof that you could show
But I cant take my guesses back
That I based on all those facts
That aint necessarily so
And every time I follow what Im feeling
I end up in the same place my heart would have me go
If theres one rule of life I trust
Its everything outside your gut
aint necessarily so
CHORUS (2x)
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 cant be too careful who you know
But that aint necessarily so
