[ch]C[/ch]\r\nThe sky was sunny and the air was clean[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D7[/ch]                                                 [ch]G[/ch]\r\nWhen up ahead on the road I seen a skinny sweatin' jogger[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 3]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nWell he was dressed like they do in baby blue[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWith shortie shorts and a headband too[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]D7[/ch]                                                          [ch]G[/ch]\r\nI yelled Sweetie I bet that you are the hit of the men's room locker[/tab]\r\nWell I'm a runnin' late with an overload\r\n[tab]

joggers[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 4]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nWell without breakin' stride or losin' poise[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]C[/ch]\r\nHe says you and that rig sure make some noise[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D7[/ch]                                      [ch]G[/ch]\r\nI can't talk now I'm racin' against the clocker[/tab]\r\nBut it's just nine miles to Forkers Leap\r\n[tab]       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd if you ain't afraid to race that heap[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]D7[/ch]                                            [ch]G[/ch]\r\nWe'll see how that ol' rig holds up against a super jogger[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse

                [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThen he unwinds and leaves me behind eaten the dust of a jogger[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 8]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nThen I see him a joggin' up into the sky[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd he yells hey thanks for the exercise[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]D7[/ch]                                    [ch]G[/ch]\r\nI hope that losin' the race was not too shockin'[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nYa see my dad says heaven's no place to run[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]C[/ch]\r\nI try to be an obedient son[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]D7[/ch]
