Byrd Tracy Different Things Lyrics

Different Things Lyrics

The first thing that I reach for every morning

Is a pack of smokes laying 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 



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 



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 



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
