[00:17.70]Kids out driving Saturday afternoon just pass me by
[00:26.11]And I'm just savouring familiar sights
[00:33.74]We shared some history, this town and I
[00:41.70]And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her
[00:49.64]Time to book a room and stay tonight
[00:57.52]Number one is to find some friends to say "You're doing well
[01:05.47]After all this time you boys look just the same"
[01:13.61]Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels
[01:21.33]And settle in to play "Do you remember so and so?"
[01:29.42]And number three is never say her name
[01:35.53]And oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
[01:44.11]And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
[01:51.74]There's no change, there's no pace
[01:55.78]Everything within it's place
[01:59.10]Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
[02:08.68]And oh! Who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway?
[02:16.58]You know it takes more than just a memory to make me cry
[02:25.45]And I'm happy just to sit here, at a table with old friends
[02:32.94]And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
[02:40.00]And there's a girl, she's falling in love, near where the pianola stands
[02:48.74]With a young local factory out-of-worker, just holding hands
[02:55.61]And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay
[03:02.79]Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our day
[03:13.35]Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
[03:21.32]And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
[03:29.02]There's no change, there's no pace
[03:32.94]Everything within it's place
[03:36.48]Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
[03:44.74]Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
[03:52.58]And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
[04:00.44]There's no change, there's no pace
[04:04.54]Everything within it's place
[04:07.99]Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
