DJ

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

There's a rhythm in my memory, a sweet and gentle sound

Of a chocolate lab who knew my heart, the best dog I ever found

She'd talk to me in her own way, a language understood

With a wagging tail and shining eyes, she'd say, "Let's run, we should!"

Chorus

Oh, DJ, my sweet companion, my co-pilot and my guide

For twelve of the best years of my life, you were right here by my side

Now the road goes on forever, and your spirit's running free

My dear DJ, you'll always be a part of me.

Verse 2

Through lonely nights beneath the stars, in that big old truck we'd sit

Watching movies on the screen, a perfect, cozy fit

You'd curl up close, a trusted friend, no matter where we'd roam

Making every long haul feel, a little more like home.

Chorus

Oh, DJ, my sweet companion, my co-pilot and my guide

For twelve of the best years of my life, you were right here by my side

Now the road goes on forever, and your spirit's running free

My dear DJ, you'll always be a part of me.

Verse 3

You charmed the hearts of everyone, no matter where we'd land

From a trucker's stop to open road, a friend in every hand

Once at a mine, the foreman' smiled, he knew your gentle grace

He shut the whole darn operation down, to give you ample space.

Bridge

Now I whisper to the quiet air, a message just for you

Go get it, girl, it's all yours now, all the joy you're running to

Enjoy the lakes and endless ponds, then curl up by the fire's glow

My sweet DJ, where your spirit flies, I surely know.

Harmonica Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, DJ, my sweet companion, my co-pilot and my guide

For twelve of the best years of my life, you were right here by my side

Now the road goes on forever, and your spirit's running free

My dear DJ, you'll always be a part of me.

Outro - guitar fade

I see you swimming in the pond, with your best friend Diesel there

Free and joyful, chasing sunbeams, without a single care.

Just peace and light, my good old girl, a love that will not fade.
