flame trees

Kids out driving Saturday afternoon
Just pass me by
Im just savouring familiar sights
We shared some history
This town and I
And I cant stop that long forgotton feeling of her
Time to book a room and stay tonight
Number one is to find some friends to say youre 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 theres nothing else could set fire to this town
Theres no change theres no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe that she wont be around
Oh who needs that sentimental ******** anyway
You know it takes more than just a memory to make me cry
And Im happy just to sit here round a table with old friends
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
And theres a girl shes falling in love near where the pianola stands
With a young local factory out of worker just holding hands
And Im wondering if hell go or if hell stay
Do you remember nothing stopped us on the field
In our day
Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And theres nothing else could set fire to this town
Theres no change theres no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe that she wont be around
