Cracker Barrel Songtext
von John Schneider

I′ll be up late tonight workin' double over time
Two a.m. graveyard shift work
I went for a drive saw the bright lit up sign
So i stopped for a bite ′cause my head hurt
Amid all the tickets and the hustle 'round the kitchen
I watched from my table with my eggs over white
To my left to my right were thirty different lives
And we all wound up here tonight

There's drunks, rednecks, truckers and college kids
A family of four on their way to the beaches
A young couple dreamin′ a homeless man sleepin′
It's come as you are don′t you worry about leavin'
You′ll see every face, every race, every background
There's rest for the gypsies, the biker′s and broke down's
All heading in different directions but right now
We're all at home at the cracker barrel


The waitress said bob do you need me to top off your sweet tea
Hey john do you need some more joe
Betty′s cruisin′ the gift shop
Bill's braggin′ on his white sox
Jill's laptop is opened to the history of rome
A guy′s outside chain smokin', a teenager′s token
There's a nurse in her scrubs, bags under her eyes
To my left to my right thirty different lives
Breakin' bread here together tonight

Hey there′s drunks, red necks, truckers and college kids
A family of four on their way to the beaches
A young couple dreamin′ a homeless man sleepin'
It′s come as you are don't you worry about leavin′
You'll see every face, every race, every background
There′s rest for the gypsies, the biker's and broke down's
All heading in different directions but right now
We′re all at home at the cracker barrel

You can come as you are at the cracker barrel
