Flame Trees Lyrics

Kids out driving Saturday afternoon just pass my by I'm just savoring familiar sights We shared some history, this town and I And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her Its time to book a room to stay the night Number one is to find some friends to say You're doing well After all this time you boys just look 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 here name Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver And there's nothing else to set fire to this town There's no change, there's no pace Everything within it's place Just makes it harder to believe That she won't be around Who need that sentimental bullshit anyway Takes more than just a memory to make me cry And I'm happy just to sit here Round 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 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 to set fire to this town There's no change, there's no pace Everything within it's place Just makes it harder to believe That she won't be around
