Kids out driving Saturday
afternoon just pass me by
I'm just savouring familiar sights
We share some history
this town and I
And I can't stop that long forgotten
feeling of her
Time to book a room to stay tonight
Number one is to find some friends to say
"You're doing well
After all this time you boys look
just the same"
Number two is the happy hour
at one of two hotels
Settle in to play
"Do you remember so and so?"
Number three is never say her name
Oh the flame trees will
blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could
set fire to this town
There's no change there's no pace
Everything within it's place
Just makes it harder to
believe that she won't be around
Oh who needs that sentimental
bullshit anyway
You takes more than just a
memory to make me cry
And I'm happy just to sit here
a the table with old friends
And see which one of us can tell
the biggest lies
And there's a girl she's falling in love
near where the pianola stands
With a young local factory out of worker
just holding hands
And I'm wondering if he'll go
or if he'll stay...
Do you remember nothing stopped
us on the field
In our day
Oh the flame trees will blind
the weary driver
And there's nothing else could
set fire to this town
There's no change there's no pace
Everything within it's place
Just makes it harder to believe that
she won't be around
Oh the flame trees will blind
the weary driver
And there's nothing else could
set fire to this town
There's no change there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe
that she won't be around
