about

Words and music by Jeff Betz

lyrics

Iʼm a Cracker

Now sometimes Iʼm a bore, see me at the grocery store
With my taders, onions and parsnips
But if you treat me kind, I wonʼt pay you no mind
Iʼm as gentle as a puppy on your doorstep
Just give me a beer and a belly full oʼ cheer
And youʼve made a friend forever
If you think Iʼm lying then damn-right youʼre buying
Iʼm nobodyʼs fool, Iʼm a Cracker

(REFRAIN)
Im a Cracker
Born in the mitten, Iʼm a Cracker
From my hat to my boots, Iʼm a long-neck galoot
But Iʼm nobodyʼs fool, Iʼm a Cracker

Now I donʼt have no car and Iʼll never get far
And Iʼm running low on ambition
But see if I care, when the weather is fair
As I ride along on my bicycle
Iʼve never been married, ʻcause Iʼm a little scary
But a gentleman through and through
Iʼll pass on the drama, I donʼt need no mama
Iʼm nobodyʼs fool, Iʼm a Cracker

Well I donʼt mind dying, it would suit me just fine
ʻCause Iʼve led a life of labor
I donʼt have no fear, it was never really clear
What I was doing here in the first place
Iʼve read he fairytale, the savior hung up on a nail
But what did that jew prove?
Itʼs better to be a honky, a simpleton and a flunky
And nobodyʼs fool, Iʼm a Cracker
