The way this all came down tonight took me by surprise
I didn't even get the chance to look you in the eyes
Your mama warned me how you can be
She told me we have different dreams and different needs
But you can't see the forest for the trees
I know for sure that my daddy's proud of me
It gets real clear as time passes on
To each his own
Just because you're thinking that I'll trip and fall
Just goes to show how much we're different after all
You think you know just how I should be
But some roam, some stay at home and raise a family
Now you can't see the forest for the trees
I know for sure that my daddy's proud of me
It gets real clear as time passes on
To each his own
Now I know I'm a better man than you want me to be
But with your head stuck in the ground, I know you'll never see
I live my life the way I know is right
And I rest easy when I lay down in my bed at night
Now you can't see the forest for the trees
I know damn well that my daddy's proud of me
It gets real clear as time marches on
To each his own
To each his own
