Different Things Lyrics - Tracy Byrd

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 

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 has 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
