The Way It Goes

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
