Tangerine Skins

What was it like, passenger side of that white pickup with the camper on top
The smell of chlorine and tangerine skins all over the floor mats
You never cleaned them up

When it was done, we'd grab the dogs and take the 17 to the country store, Mountainaire
Walking at night, those moonlit pines
You know I saw a lot of faces but you were never scared

How did it feel, turning the wheel, with no power steering, bet it made it worse
Methadone games, are you ashamed?
You know I wish you didn't hide it with all that hurt

Why did it stop, throwing the ball across the street until a car came
You always saw it first
Change isn't free, I've got your knees
I don't remember anytime when everything worked

Where could I run, your only son, I'll carry you with me, the tower and the ghost
Some things don't change, I cannot say what it means to know you love me
You love me, Dad, I know
