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
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 or two hotels and settle in
to play "Do you remember so and so?"
Number three is never say her name

And 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

But 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

There's a girl she's falling in love
near where the pianola stands
With her 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 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
