Kids out driving Saturday afternoon just pass me by
And I'm just savouring familiar sights
We share some history, this town and I (certainly did)
And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her
Time to book a room and 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-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, she won't be around...
But oh! Oh...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 at 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 auto worker there _ just holding hands
And I'm wondering if you'll go or if you'll stay...
Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field In our day?
Oh-oh the flame trees
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
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
