The Jogger

G
Well I've been a trucker now for 
twenty years
         C
From the Charleston coast to the 
Jersey piers
    D7                             
And sharin' the road with the race 
             G
car nuts and loggers
                               C
Sunday drivers scouts on hikes Hells
 Angels on Harley bikes
  D7                               
I never met a roader I didn't like 
          G
cept them joggers

[Verse 2]
G
One day I'm rollin' down 1 0 1
      C
I got 18 wheels and a fourteen ton
D7                               
Radio playin' a good ol' country 
G
rocker
The day was surely a trucker's dream
    C
The sky was sunny and the air was 
clean
D7                                
When up ahead on the road I seen a
                 G
 skinny sweatin' jogger

[Verse 3]
G
Well he was dressed like they do in 
baby blue
     C
With shortie shorts and a headband 
too
  D7                               
I yelled Sweetie I bet that you are
                           G
 the hit of the men's room locker
Well I'm a runnin' late with an 
overload
   C
So get your Adidas off a this road
    D7                             
I'm A  bound and I don't slow down 
                     G
for dead raccoons or joggers

[Verse 4]
G
Well without breakin' stride or 
losin' poise
   C
He says you and that rig sure make 
some noise

D7                                
I can't talk now I'm racin' 
      G
against the clocker
But it's just nine miles to Forkers 
Leap
       C
And if you ain't afraid to race that
 heap
      D7                           
We'll see how that ol' rig holds up
                 G
 against a super jogger

[Verse 5]
G
Race I must be hearin' wrong
    C
The boy's been runnin' in the sun 
too long
    D7                             
The only place he's a racin' to is 
  G
a doctor
But before I could say hey thank ya 
no
     C
That fool yells ready get set go
    D7                             
And the race is on and we're off 
                          G
and gone me and that maniac jogger

[Verse 6]
G
Well now I could'a left him far 
behind
    C
But I played with him like a fish on
 a line
    D7                          
And I stayed about a half a mile 
             G
behind that sucker
Then I pushed her up to forty-five
       C
And he sees me comin' and he starts 
to fly
   D7
So I pushed her to sixty and shift 
to high
                       G
And finally catch that jogger  and 
it wasn't easy

[Verse 7]
G
Now I'm doin' eighty and I turned to
 check
    C
And he's stayin' right with me neck 
in neck
    D7                             
His hearts a thumpin' like an 
              G
engine goin' bocka bocka bocka
Then he said I hope you're set
      C
Cause I ain't shifted into second 
yet
     D7                            
Then he unwinds and leaves me 
                      G
behind eaten the dust of a jogger

[Verse 8]
G
Then I see him a joggin' up into the
 sky
    C
And he yells hey thanks for the 
exercise
  D7                               
I hope that losin' the race was not
     G
 too shockin'
G
Ya see my dad says heaven's no place
 to run
  C
I try to be an obedient son
   D7                           
So I come down to earth to do my 
 G
joggin'

[Verse 9]
G
Well that's the story take it or 
leave it
   C
My trucker buddies they believe it
   D7                              
So do those race car nuts and 
  G
Harley hoggers
Now I'm still drivin' much the same
     C
Cept I don't call nobody names
    D7                           
And I tip my hat each time I pass 
                      G
