JOEY

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

The day you came, a little furry face so grand,

A Lhasa Apso, my best buddy, walked right into my hand.

Fourteen years and a half, we shared a love so true,

Every truck ride, every journey, always me and you.

Chorus

Oh, Joey, my son, my loyal heart's delight,

We spent fourteen and a half years, shining ever so bright.

Though the road has turned, and you're no longer by my side,

Your memory's my compass, my eternal guide.

Verse 2

From sunrise 'til the stars would fill the inky sky,

You were always with me, never saying goodbye.

To work, to play, to every outdoor adventure's call,

My shadow, my protector, standing proud and standing tall.

Chorus

Oh, Joey, my son, my loyal heart's delight,

We spent fourteen and a half years, shining ever so bright.

Though the road has turned, and you're no longer by my side,

Your memory's my compass, my eternal guide.

Bridge

Daddy loves you, Joey, you're a good boy, strong and free,

I miss you more than words can ever truly be.

See you at the Rainbow Bridge, where you run in endless grace,

Till I can hold and kiss you, and see your sweet, dear face.

Harmonica Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Joey, my son, my loyal heart's delight,

We spent fourteen and a half years, shining ever so bright.

Though the road has turned, and you're no longer by my side,

Your memory's my compass, my eternal guide.

Outro - acoustic guitar fade

Waiting at the Rainbow Bridge, beyond the setting sun,

Running free and happy, till our new journey's begun.

My sweet Joey, my good boy, my love will never cease,

Just run free, little one, and find your perfect peace.
