Ain't Necessarily So

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

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
