Lyrics
Oh! you city slicker
With the fickle ticker
The toil and the trouble
And the seventy-five cent liquor
Chorus
Come to Cracker Barrel County
If you need a change of pace
Get acquainted with the lazy summer breeze
For it’s Cracker Barrel County
Where you join the human race
And you gallivant exactly as you please
Where you can yodel
When you want to yodel, lady
Yodel, lady, yodel, lady
Or you can whittle out a whistle where it’s shady
Or just slumber all day in the newly mown hay
When you’ve made your second million
And you’ve figured out the tax
And the strain has got you dropping in your tracks
Come to Cracker Barrel County and relax
