Jogger Chronicles Songtext
von John Proulx

As I was jogging one early morning
I hear somebody shout, "Hallelujah!"
Across the way I see people dancing
Some folks are waving, "Praise blessings to ya!"
The beat is talking to me, infusing me with energy
Without even trying, I′m in the zone
I'm flying, feeling like my feet
Will never have to touch down again


I′m bounding barefoot down through the canyon
I hear the gray wolf howl at the high moon
And it's the sweetest air that I'm breathing
I think I′ll stay out here, never leave soon
The river′s following me, my heart is stoked with ecstasy
My body's in motion, my mind stays still
It′s awesome, slipping into silent running

Cruising in Alfa Mode
The zone, I'm in the zone
Call it blissful satisfaction
The zone, I′m in the zone
Call it blissful satisfaction

They say endorphins must be the reason
That jogging feels so good, hallelujah!
To me it's just like zen meditation
A kind of runner′s high liberation
The world goes out of my sight, my brain morphs into brilliant light
The body's in motion, the mind stays still
I'm flying, feeling like my feet
Will never have to touch down again
