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
