Danny's gone to church
and he's praying for the living
while the backyard heroes
are still fighting for the dead.

And all the girls wear skirts
for some life they have been dreaming
while the boys wear jeans
and are trying to get them to their bed.

Well they gunned down Tony
he had a big mouth and he used it
his mama was a drunk
and his papa was a hustlin' man.

When the deal goes down
you gotta know how not to lose it
else you're gonna go down
and be walked by a marchin' band.

(Chorus)

It ain't easy living around here
you gotta work hard just to keep it up
once I had me a girl but now it's a sad sad story
we like the same bottle but we're drinking from a different cup.

Tina got pregnant
but she don't know how she'll raise it
and Johnny's playing cards all night
with the Irish boys.

She told him he's the father
but he was too drunk to take it
so Johnny just skipped town
and went south to make some noise.

(Chorus)

Drinking From A Different Cup

Music written having in mind my journey to Belgium countryside.
