The Jogger chords by 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
