The Jogger Song Lyrics and Chords by Bobby Bare

The Jogger

Recorded by Bobby Bare

Written by Shel Silverstein

G

Well I've been a trucker now for twenty years

From the

C

Charleston coast to the Jersey piers

And

D7

sharin' the road with the race car nuts and

G

loggers

Sunday drivers scouts on hikes

C

Hells Angels on Harley bikes

I

D7

never met a roader I didn't like cept them

G

joggers

One day I'm rollin' down 1 0 1

I got

C

18 wheels and a fourteen ton

D7

Radio playin' a good ol' country

G

rocker

The day was surely a trucker's dream

The

C

sky was sunny and the air was clean

D7

When up ahead on the road I seen a skinny sweatin'

G

jogger

Well he was dressed like they do in baby blue

With

C

shortie shorts and a headband too

I

D7

yelled Sweetie I bet that you are the hit of the men's room

G

locker

Well I'm a runnin' late with an overload

So

C

get your Adidas off a this road

I'm

D7

LA bound and I don't slow down for dead raccoons or

G

joggers

Well without breakin' stride or losin' poise

He

C

says you and that rig sure make some noise

D7

I can't talk now I'm racin' against the

G

clocker

But it's just nine miles to Forkers Leap

And if

C

you ain't afraid to race that heap

We'll

D7

see how that ol' rig holds up against a super

G

jogger

Race I must be hearin' wrong

The

C

boy's been runnin' in the sun too long

The

D7

only place he's a racin' to is a

G

doctor

But before I could say hey thank ya no

That

C

fool yells ready get set go

And

D7

the race is on and we're off and gone me and that maniac

G

jogger

Well now I could'a left him far behind

But

C

I played with him like a fish on a line

And

D7

I stayed about a half a mile behind that

G

sucker

Then I pushed her up to forty-five

And he

C

sees me comin' and he starts to fly

So

D7

I pushed her to sixty and shift to high

And finally catch that

G

jogger and it wasn't easy

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

And

C

he's stayin' right with me neck in neck

His

D7

hearts a thumpin' like an engine goin' bocka

G

bocka

bocka

Then he said I hope you're set

Cause

C

I ain't shifted into second yet

Then

D7

he unwinds and leaves me behind eaten the dust of a

G

jogger

Then I see him a joggin' up into the sky

And

C

he yells hey thanks for the exercise

I

D7

hope that losin' the race was not too

G

shockin'

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

I

C

try to be an obedient son

So

D7

I come down to earth to do my

G

joggin'

Well that's the story take it or leave it

My

C

trucker buddies they believe it

So

D7

do those race car nuts and Harley

G

hoggers

Now I'm still drivin' much the same

Cept

C

I don't call nobody names

And

D7

I tip my hat each time I pass one of them good old

G

joggers

And I say hey good buddy can I get ya sumpin

How

C

bout a little Gatorade here

D7

Naw that's alright I got plenty a-

G

time
