The Jogger Chords

(ver. 1)
Bobby Bare
[Verse 1]
G
Well I've been a trucker now for twenty years
         C
From the Charleston coast to the Jersey piers
    D7                                          G
And sharin' the road with the race car nuts and loggers
                               C
Sunday drivers scouts on hikes Hells Angels on Harley bikes
  D7                                         G
I never met a roader I didn't like 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                               G
Radio playin' a good ol' country rocker
The day was surely a trucker's dream
    C
The sky was sunny and the air was clean
D7                                                 G
When up ahead on the road I seen a 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                                                          G
I yelled Sweetie I bet that you are 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                                                  G
I'm LA bound and I don't slow down 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                                      G
I can't talk now I'm racin' against the clocker
But it's just nine miles to Forkers Leap
       C
And if you ain't afraid to race that heap
      D7                                            G
We'll see how that ol' rig holds up 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                               G
The only place he's a racin' to is a doctor
But before I could say hey thank ya no
     C
That fool yells ready get set go
    D7                                                       G
And the race is on and we're off 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                                       G
And I stayed about a half a mile 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                                           G
His hearts a thumpin' like an engine goin' bocka bocka bocka
Then he said I hope you're set
      C
Cause I ain't shifted into second yet
     D7                                                  G
Then he unwinds and leaves me 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                                    G
I hope that losin' the race was not too shockin'
G
Ya see my dad says heaven's no place to run
  C
I try to be an obedient son
   D7                            G
So I come down to earth to do my joggin'

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

[Outro]
G
And I say hey good buddy can I get ya sumpin
    C
How bout a little Gatorade here
D7                                G
Naw that's alright I got plenty a-time
