Lyrics

[00:09.960] You can't break your eggs to count your chickens
[00:14.720] And you can't break your neck to keep your ducks all in a row
[00:19.730] But don't think every chance you take has to mean a new mistake
[00:23.300]
[00:24.590] It ain't necessarily so
[00:28.700] Now depending on the soil and the season
[00:31.700] You can plant a seed and you can watch it grow
[00:38.750] But you can't have a guarantee 'cause everything that aught to be
[00:43.750] Ain't necessarily so
[00:48.180] I laugh when I can and I live with the rest
[00:52.550] I learned that holdin' on means lettin' go
[00:57.970] I try to be a friend to the person on my left
[01:01.960] They say you just can't be too careful who you know
[01:07.580] But that ain't necessarily so
[01:22.120] I'd like to have more faith in human logic
[01:26.930] Basin' all the rules on the proof that you can show
[01:31.730] But I can't take my guesses back that I based on all those facts
[01:36.790] That ain't necessarily so
[01:41.280] And every time I follow what I'm feelin'
[01:44.780] I end up in the same place my heart would have me go
[01:51.080] If there's one rule of life I trust it's everything outside your gut
[01:56.130] Ain't necessarily so
[02:00.320] I laugh when I can and I live with the rest
[02:05.430] I learned that holdin' on means lettin' go
[02:10.370] I try to be a friend to the person on my left
[02:14.230] They say you just can't be too careful who you know
[02:20.040] But that ain't necessarily so
[02:24.770] I laugh when I can and I live with the rest
[02:29.510] I learned that holdin' on means lettin' go
[02:34.510] I try to be a friend to the person on my left
[02:38.380] They say you just can't be too careful who you know
[02:44.180] But that ain't necessarily so
