Kids out driving Saturday afternoon Just pass me by I'm just savouring familiar sights We shared some history This town and I And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her It's 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?" Oh 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 she won't be around
Oh Who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway Takes more than just a memory to make me cry And I'm happy just to sit here 'round a 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 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 it's place Just makes it harder to believe she won't be around
