[00:03.05]Written by：Sheldon Silverstein
[00:06.11]Well I've been a trucker more
[00:07.27]Than twenty years
[00:08.57]From the Charleston
[00:09.11]Coast to the Jersey piers
[00:11.56]Sharin' the road
[00:12.67]With race car nuts and loggers
[00:16.95]Sunday drivers scouts on hikes
[00:20.06]Hells Angels on Harley bikes
[00:22.57]I never met a roader
[00:23.90]I didn't like cept them joggers
[00:29.32]One day I'm rollin' down 1-0-1
[00:32.11]I got 18 wheels under 14-tons
[00:35.26]Radio playin' a good ol' country rocker
[00:40.54]The day was sure a trucker's dream
[00:43.34]The sky was sunny and the air was clean
[00:46.35]When up ahead on the road
[00:48.43]I seen one of them joggers
[00:53.02]He was dressed like they do in baby blue
[00:55.96]With shortie shorts and a headband too
[00:58.99]I yelled Sweetie I bet
[01:00.70]That you are the hit of the men's room locker
[01:04.26]But I'm a runnin' late with an overload
[01:07.43]So get your Adidas off a this road
[01:09.98]I'm LA bound and I don't slow down
[01:12.74]For dead raccoons or joggers
[01:17.02]Well without breakin' stride or losin' poise
[01:19.85]He said you and
[01:20.58]That rig sure make some noise
[01:22.83]But I can't talk now cause
[01:24.48]I'm racin' against the clocker
[01:28.31]But it's just nine miles to Forkers Leap
[01:31.20]And if you ain't afraid to race that heap
[01:34.15]We'll see how that ol' rig
[01:36.15]Holds up against a super jogger
[01:41.34]Race I must be hearin' wrong
[01:44.11]The boy's been runnin' in the sun too long
[01:47.08]The only place he's racin' to is a doctor's
[01:52.56]But before I could say thank you no
[01:55.33]That fool yells ready get set go
[01:58.30]And the race is on we're off
[02:00.50]And gone me and that maniac jogger
[02:08.58]I could've left him far behind
[02:11.09]But I played with him like a fish on a line
[02:13.92]And I stayed about a half
[02:15.42]A mile behind that sucker
[02:19.60]Then I pushed her up to forty-five
[02:22.55]And he sees me comin' and he starts to fly
[02:25.50]So I pushed her to sixty and shift to high
[02:28.28]And finally catch that jogger
[02:30.70]And it wasn't easy
[02:32.79]Now I'm doin' eighty
[02:34.15]And I turned to check
[02:35.37]And he's stayin' right
[02:36.39]With me neck in neck
[02:38.61]His hearts a thumpin' like
[02:39.94]My engine goin' pop pop pocker
[02:44.14]Then he yells out I hope you're set
[02:46.86]Cause I ain't shifted into second yet
[02:49.79]Then he unwinds and leaves me
[02:52.19]Behind eaten the dust of a jogger
[02:56.99]Then I see him joggin' up into the sky
[02:59.87]And he yells hey thanks for the exercise
[03:03.03]I hope that losin'
[03:04.31]This race was not too shockin'
[03:08.28]See my dad says heaven's no place to run
[03:12.05]And I try to be an obedient son
[03:15.00]So I have to come down
[03:16.14]To earth to do my joggin'
[03:20.70]Well that's my story take it or leave it
[03:23.64]My trucker buddies they believe it
[03:26.34]So do those race car nuts
[03:28.44]And Harley hoggers
[03:32.39]And I'm still drivin' much the same
[03:34.94]Cept I don't call nobody names
[03:37.71]And I tip my hat each time
[03:40.36]I pass one of them good old joggers
[03:47.65]Hey here comes one now
[03:50.61]Hey good buddy
