Jake Brake

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

From a little pup, a mix so true and bold,

Fifteen years of stories, more precious than gold.

You were always there to lift me when I fell,

Through the darkest chapters, you knew me so well.

So smart and so helpful, my shadow and guide,

A loyal Dashound Beagle, always by my side.

You understood my heart, with just a look or sigh,

And helped me face the world beneath a cloudy sky.

Chorus

Oh, Jake Brake, fifteen years we shared,

A bond of pure devotion, beyond all compared.

My constant companion, my truest, dearest friend,

A love like ours, I know will never end.

Verse 2

I recall the quiet times, out on the open road,

Just you and I together, easing every load.

Up there in the truck cab, just us all alone,

A silent understanding, a love deeply sown.

You'd watch the miles fly by, with patient, knowing eyes,

Sharing simple moments, beneath wide open skies.

No words were ever needed, our spirits intertwined,

The best kind of company a soul could ever find.

Chorus

Oh, Jake Brake, fifteen years we shared,

A bond of pure devotion, beyond all compared.

My constant companion, my truest, dearest friend,

A love like ours, I know will never end.

Bridge

I love you so much, Jake, I didn't want you to leave,

It broke my heart to watch you go, and still I often grieve.

I hope you knew that then, and know it every day,

My love for you, dear friend, will never fade away.

Banjo Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Jake Brake, fifteen years we shared,

A bond of pure devotion, beyond all compared.

My constant companion, my truest, dearest friend,

A love like ours, I know will never end.

Outro

Now you're running free and barking, playing in the sun,

Your happy spirit soaring, your gentle race is run.

A peaceful image lingers, where joy will never cease,

My sweet Jake Brake, at last, you rest in perfect peace.

Outro - harmonica fade
