Different Things Lyrics by Tracy Byrd

Different Things

0

[Verse 1]
The first thing that I reach for every morning
Is a pack of smokes layin' by my bed
Yes, I've read the surgeon general's warning
But that don't take the warning out of them
What I want and what I need
Have always been different things

[Verse 2]
The last thing mama reached for every Sunday
Was my mortal soul as she walked out the door
She'd say, boy you're gonna need Him someday
But I wanted to sleep off the night before
What I want and what I need
Have always been different things

[Bridge]
What I want is to give up, just let go
And walk out on us
But what I need is to see this through
Oh, and find a way back to you

[Verse 3]
The last thing that I reach for every evening
Is a woman who I can't reach anymore
Time is worn the new off of the feeling
And right now I want to just walk out the door
But what I want and what I need
Have always been different things
What I want and what I need
Have always been different things
