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 bull%#@! 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
