As a bicyclist / songwriter who’s undergone three (3) knee replacements, this popped into my head today as I rode to the post office dodging pizza delivery men.

Don’t Hit Me

[Verse 1]

(D) I’m just a biker in this (F) crazy town,
(C) Pedaling fast, I don’t (G) want to slow down,
(D) Dodging the taxis, the (F) trucks and the vans,
(C) Prayin’ to the Lord they (G) see where I am.

[Chorus]

(D) Pizza Man, don’t (F) hit me,
(C) UPS Man, don’t (G) hit me,
(D) Amazon Man, don’t (F) hit me,
(C) Bus driver Man, don’t (G) hit me.

[Verse 2]

(D) The sun’s beating down, the (F) wind’s in my hair,
(C) I’m racing the lights, I (G) breathe in the air,
(D) But every big rig keeps (F) blocking my lane,
(C) I holler and shout but it’s (G) all in vain.

[Chorus]

(D) Policeman, don’t (F) hit me,
(C) Firetruck Man, don’t (G) hit me,
(D) Rotor-Rooter Man, don’t (F) hit me,
(C) Garbage Truck Man, don’t (G) hit me.

[Bridge]

(D) I weave through the chaos, I (F) dodge and I swerve,
(C) Tryin’ to stay cool, but I (G) still got the nerve.
(D) But every new turn (F) brings a new threat,
(C) I ain’t seen a safe lane (G) yet!

[Chorus]

(D) Postman, don’t (F) hit me,
(C) UPS Man, don’t (G) hit me,
(D) Firetruck Man, don’t (F) hit me,
(C) Pizza Man, don’t (G) hit me.

[Outro]

(D) So if you’re out there on that (F) big ol’ street,
(C) Keep an eye for folks on (G) two-wheeled seats,
(D) We’re out here too, just (F) livin’ our dream,
(C) But we’re one honk away from a (G) real loud scream!
