You know, cowboys, like most folks
Don't always get all the exercise they need
And often time, your friends have your best interests at heart
And it pays to take heed

Friend Jim, he said to me one day
You oughta take up walkin
It'll do your heart just a world o' good
Just do it, stop your talkin
So I went for a little mountain walk
In Yosemite's cool, clean air
What do I see layin' cross the trail
But a big ol' grizzly bear

But I'm not afraida' that bear
I'm not afraida' him
He don't scare me none
I'm just a heedin' ol' Jim

So I started walkin' down the trail
As easy as can be
I happen to glance to find
The bear's walkin' after me

I think I'll pick it up a little

Jim says "If you wanna do some good, you oughta take up joggin
It gets the heart a pumpin' fine, and really clears your noggin"

Now I'm not afraida' that bear
I'm not afraida' him
He don't scare me none
I'm just a heedin' ol' Jim

So I started joggin' down the trail
As easy as can be
I happen to glance back to find
The bear's joggin' after me

I think I'll pick it up a little here

Jim says, "To do the job just right, you oughta take up runnin
Get rid of that unsightly fat, you'll feel better every mornin"

Now I'm not afraida' that bear
I'm not afraida' him
He don't scare me none
I'm just a heedin' ol' Jim

So I started runnin' down the trail
As quickly as can be
I happen to glance back to find
The bear's runnin' after me

I think I'll pick it up a little more here

Jim says, "Now every once in a while, you outghta really chunk it
Get out and run for all you're worth
Pretend that you're Jim Plunkett!"

Now I'm not afraida' that bear
I'm not afraida' him
He don't scare me none
I'm just a heedin' ol' Jim

So I started chunkin' it down the trail
As quickly as can be
I happen to glance back to find
The bear's chunkin' it after me

Shoot

I've got it figured out by now
My best chance at survival
Is to get up that big pine tree
Before that bear's arrival

Now I'm not afraida' that bear
I'm not afraida' him
He don't scare me none
I'm just a heedin' ol' Jim

Now the first limb on that big ol' pine
Is more than thirteen feet
But at this speed and with a mighty leap
I may still have this thing beat

I feel the bear's breath at my back
As I leap high for that limb
Then I realize with sinkin' heart
That I've missed to my chagrin

But I'm not afraida' that bear
I'm not afraida' him
He don't scare me none
I'm just a heedin' ol' Jim

My whole life flashed before my eyes
I thought of Jim, That clown
Well, I missed the limb on my way up
But I caught it on my way down
