Lyrics Dijon – Nico’s Red Truck

Text:

Pouring rain, it’s pouring rain out
I’m afraid I might forget
What if the good memories start to fade out?
Things change, yeah

But I get flashes of home now and then
In my head
Do you remember my Civic?
Dark green, dark green
With tan seats, tan seats and no A/C
It was sweet to me

I had a wide angle, smile and a mouth full of gold
Candy eyes, candle eyes burning bright down the road
Through Carolina, warm air Carolina

Slowly, yeah
Days get grayed out
What if I can’t fix my head
What if I can’t fix my head now
I don’t wanna forget us with

The wide angle smile and a mouth full of gold
Candy eyes, candle eyes burning bright down the road
Through Carolina, warm air Carolina
I had a wide angle smile and a mouth full of gold
Candy eyes, candle eyes burning bright down the road
Through Carolina, warm air Carolina
Ninety-five, ninety-five, ninety

I found a photograph, all faded and bunched
I had a camo hat, leaning on a red truck
On Nico’s red truck
He moved to Baltimore City, then he moved to Philly
We don’t speak much, the last year’s been so busy

I can’t keep up, the years move by so quickly
I can’t keep up, I can’t keep up
I rode my bike to the YMCA
Got my first pay-check from working the day-care
It got wet, ’cause it rained on the way back
But I loved the smell, so I just inhaled
I stopped in a field for a minute when night fell
The big moon burned and the rim of the bike wheel
Was white from reflecting
I don’t wanna forget the way it felt
One summer, hot, slow, wet
I had a wide angle smile in these pictures that you took
It’s strange, I forget that’s how I looked
It’s strange how much can change in just a short time
It’s strange I’m getting older, I’m afraid
I found a photograph all faded and bunched
I had a camo hat, leaning on a red truck
On my friend’s red truck
On my friend’s red truck
