Flame Trees

Kids out driving saturday afternoon just pass me by And I'm just savoring familiar sights We share some history, this town and I And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her Try 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 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 a table with old friends And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies And there's a girl falling in love near where the pianola stands With a young local factory auto 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 --- Flame Trees - Cold Chisel
