One man's home is another man's journey

Stars shine late and the sun shines early

One man's straight and another man's curly

That's just the way it goes

One man's trash is another man's treasure

Rummaging around in the rain in the weather

One man's pain is another man's pleasure

That's just the way it goes.

Oh we'll never know no matter how we try

Why there's a tree in the ground and the sun in the sky

For one man's truth is another man's lie

It's just the way that it goes and I couldn't say why.

One man's cure is another man's poison

Snow falls white and the leaves fall golden

One man bought 'em, another man's sold 'em

That's just the way it goes

Yeah, one man's few is another man plenty

One complains, while the other says thanks

One man's full is another man's empty

That's just the way it goes.

Yeah we'll never know no matter how we try

Why we're born and we grow and we live and we die

For one man's start is another's goodbye

It's just the way that it goes and I couldn't say why

It's just the way that it goes and I couldn't say why.
