Different Man Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kane Brown]
Born a life, 9 to 5
Gonna work 'til you die
Gonna hurt, gonna learn to take it like a man
Find a girl, make a wife
Dig a fence, paint it white
What if I had another plan?

[Chorus: Kane Brown]
But what if I was made for the stage?
What if I was made for the lights?
What if I was chosen to write the stories?
Wasn't built to work the line
Oh, what if I was different?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Would I wanna be different?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

[Verse 2: Blake Shelton]
Man, it's cold, crack a dawn
Hear that old rooster crow
Coffee's on and ain't it never gonna change
Another night, the same fight
Same girl, same guy
What if I wanna break the mundane?
[Chorus: Blake Shelton]
What if I was made for the stage?
What if I was made for the lights?
What if I was chosen to write the stories?
Wasn't built to work the line
Oh, what if I was different?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Would I wanna be different?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

[Bridge: Both, Kane Brown]
Feels like I'm stuck in this rut, tryna spin my way out
I can't figure it out, don't know how
How I'm supposed to tell mama and daddy
Without them mad at me, but I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down

[Chorus: Blake Shelton, Kane Brown]
What if I was made for the stage?
What if I was made for the lights?
What if I was chosen to write the stories?
Wasn't built to work the line
Oh, what if I was different?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Would I wanna be different?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
[Outro: Kane Brown, Blake Shelton]
I wanna be different (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I wanna be different (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

On having Blake Shelton on the song:

I sent it to him and then within 30 minutes he texted me back and said he’s on it. So that was just a crossing my fingers, hoping he could find time to record it.

–via People (September 9, 2022)

I was driving to the gym — that’s where I really have time to think and listen. I wanted one more feature on the album, and Blake was the first person I thought of. The song just reminded me of the ‘God’s Country’ kind of Blake Shelton, so I felt like it made sense.
