The Jogger chords by Bobby Bare

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

G+G
Well I've been a trucker now for twenty years


     C majorC
From the Charleston coast to the Jersey piers


  D7D7                     G+G
And sharin' the road with the race car nuts and loggers


                C majorC
Sunday drivers scouts on hikes Hells Angels on Harley bikes

 D7D7                     G+G
I never met a roader I didn't like cept them joggers


Verse 2:

G+G
One day I'm rollin' down 1 0 1


   C majorC
I got 18 wheels and a fourteen ton


D7D7                G+G
Radio playin' a good ol' country rocker

The day was surely a trucker's dream

  C majorC
The sky was sunny and the air was clean


D7D7                         G+G
When up ahead on the road I seen a skinny sweatin' jogger


Verse 3:

G+G
Well he was dressed like they do in baby blue

   C majorC
With shortie shorts and a headband too


 D7D7                             G+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 majorC
So get your Adidas off a this road


  D7D7                         G+G
I'm LA bound and I don't slow down for dead raccoons or joggers


Verse 4:

G+G
Well without breakin' stride or losin' poise


  C majorC
He says you and that rig sure make some noise


D7D7                   G+G
I can't talk now I'm racin' against the clocker

But it's just nine miles to Forkers Leap

    C majorC
And if you ain't afraid to race that heap


   D7D7                      G+G
We'll see how that ol' rig holds up against a super jogger


Verse 5:

G+G
Race I must be hearin' wrong


  C majorC
The boy's been runnin' in the sun too long


  D7D7                G+G
The only place he's a racin' to is a doctor

But before I could say hey thank ya no

   C majorC
That fool yells ready get set go


  D7D7                            G+G
And the race is on and we're off and gone me and that maniac jogger


Verse 6:

G+G
Well now I could'a left him far behind


  C majorC
But I played with him like a fish on a line


  D7D7                    G+G
And I stayed about a half a mile behind that sucker

Then I pushed her up to forty-five

    C majorC
And he sees me comin' and he starts to fly


  D7D7
So I pushed her to sixty and shift to high


            G+G
And finally catch that jogger and it wasn't easy


Verse 7:

G+G
Now I'm doin' eighty and I turned to check


  C majorC
And he's stayin' right with me neck in neck


  D7D7                      G+G
His hearts a thumpin' like an engine goin' bocka bocka bocka

Then he said I hope you're set

   C majorC
Cause I ain't shifted into second yet


   D7D7                         G+G
Then he unwinds and leaves me behind eaten the dust of a jogger


Verse 8:

G+G
Then I see him a joggin' up into the sky


  C majorC
And he yells hey thanks for the exercise


 D7D7                  G+G
I hope that losin' the race was not too shockin'


G+G
Ya see my dad says heaven's no place to run


 C majorC
I try to be an obedient son


  D7D7              G+G
So I come down to earth to do my joggin'


Verse 9:

G+G
Well that's the story take it or leave it


  C majorC
My trucker buddies they believe it


  D7D7                G+G
So do those race car nuts and Harley hoggers

Now I'm still drivin' much the same

   C majorC
Cept I don't call nobody names


  D7D7                         G+G
And I tip my hat each time I pass one of them good old joggers


Outro:

G+G
And I say hey good buddy can I get ya sumpin


  C majorC
How bout a little Gatorade here


D7D7                G+G
Naw that's alright I got plenty a-time
