He met my mama on a second chance
Built that yellow house with his two hands
Showed me what it means to be a man
Said, "Darlin, all you gotta do is the best you can"
Oh, oh, oh
I can see him drivin'
Oh, oh, oh
Windows down and smilin'
In that blue truck
Flyin' down the gravel when he pulled up
Said he couldn't wait to get back to us
Always made it home to say goodnight
Yeah, he was too tough
When times were hard, he never showed it too much
The way he treated Mama taught me true love
I think about him every single time
I see a blue truck
A neighbor kid called Nash would come around
Crawl across the floor of my parent's house
He loved my daddy like his own
Would sit up at the front window
Couldn't say his name, so every time that he came home
He called him Blue Truck
Flyin' down the gravel when he pulled up
Said he couldn't wait to get back to us
Always made it home to say goodnight
Yeah, he was too tough
When times were hard, he never showed it too much
The way he treated Mama taught me true love
I think about him every single time
I see a blue truck
I see a blue truck
So when I'm out here on my own
And I'm wishin' I was near you
And I see one on the road
It's like you're right there in my rearview
In that blue truck
Flyin' down the gravel to get back to us
Damn, I wish would've told you sooner
Daddy, you're the only reason why
I loved that blue truck
