[00:05.27]Well I've been a trucker now for 20 years
[00:07.92]From the Charleston Coast to the Jersey Piers
[00:10.99]Sharin' the road with race car nuts and loggers
[00:16.53]Sunday drivers scouts on hikes, Hells Angels on Harley bikes
[00:22.02]I never met a roader I didn't like, except them joggers
[00:28.57]One day I'm rollin' down 101
[00:31.49]I got 18 wheels under 14 tons
[00:34.70]Radio playin' a good ol' country rocker
[00:39.71]The day was surely a trucker's dream
[00:42.52]The sky was sunny and the air was clean
[00:45.72]When up ahead on the road I seen a skinny, sweating jogger
[00:51.70]Well he was dressed like they do in baby blue
[00:55.09]With shorty shorts and a headband too
[00:57.86]I yelled, "Hey sweetie, I bet that you
[01:00.26]Are the hit of the men's room locker"
[01:02.94]But I'm runnin' late with an overload
[01:05.91]So get your Adidas off of this road
[01:08.48]I'm LA bound and I don't slow down
[01:11.61]For dead raccoons or joggers
[01:15.42]Well without breakin' stride or losin' poise
[01:17.94]He said, "You and that rig sure make some noise
[01:21.04]I can't talk now, I'm racin' against the clocker
[01:26.31]But it's just nine miles to Forkers Leap
[01:29.25]And if you ain't afraid to race that heap
[01:31.78]We'll see how that ol' rig holds up against a super jogger"
[01:38.93]Race? I must be hearin' wrong
[01:41.76]The boy's been runnin' in the sun too long
[01:44.45]The only place he's racin' to is the doctor
[01:49.69]But before I could say, "Hey, thank you, no"
[01:52.82]That fool yells, "Ready, get, set, go"
[01:55.26]And the race is on, we're off and gone
[01:58.37]Me and that maniac jogger
[02:04.75]Well, I could've left him far behind
[02:07.46]But I played with him like a fish on a line
[02:10.10]And I stayed about a half a mile behind that sucker
[02:15.67]Then I pushed her up to 45
[02:18.43]And he sees me comin' and he starts to fly
[02:21.20]I pushed her to 60 and shift to high
[02:24.17]And finally catch that jogger
[02:26.05]And it wasn't easy
[02:27.92]Now I'm doin' 80 and I turned to check
[02:30.70]And he's stayin' right with me, neck and neck
[02:33.65]His heart's thumpin' like my engine goin', "Pow, pow, pocker"
[02:39.21]Then he says, "Hey, I hope you're set
[02:41.87]'Cause I ain't shifted into second yet"
[02:44.41]Then he unwinds and leaves me behind
[02:47.36]Eaten the dust of a jogger
[02:50.98]Then I see him joggin' up into the sky
[02:53.89]And he yells, "Hey thanks for the exercise
[02:57.07]I hope that losin' this race was not too shockin'
[03:01.60]You see, my dad says heaven ain't no place to run
[03:05.13]And I try to be an obedient son
[03:07.91]So I come down to Earth to do my jogging"
[03:13.31]Well that's the story, take it or leave it
[03:16.08]My trucker buddies, they believe it
[03:18.80]So do them race car nuts and Harley hoggers
[03:24.15]And I'm still drivin' much the same
[03:26.85]Except I don't call nobody names
[03:29.55]And I tip my hat each time I pass
[03:32.85]One of them good old joggers
[03:36.08]And I say, "Hey good buddy, can I get you something?
[03:40.32]How about a little Gatorade, yeah?
[03:42.82]Oh, that's alright, I got plenty of time"
