Cold Chisel - Flame Trees

[Verse 1]Kids out drivin' Saturday afternoon just pass me byAnd I'm just savorin' familiar sightsWe shared some history, this town and IAnd I can't stop that long forgotten feelin' of herTime to book a room and stay tonight[Verse 2]Number one is to find some friends to say, you're doin' wellAfter all this time, you boys look just the sameNumber two is the happy hour at one or two hotelsI'm settled in to play to you, do you remember so-and-so?Number three is never say her name[Verse 3]Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driverAnd there's nothin' else could set fire to this townThere's no change, there's no paceEverythin' within its placeJust makes it harder to believe that she won't be around[Verse 4]No, who needs that sentimental bullshit anywayWell, it takes more than just a memory to make me cryAnd I'm happy just to sit here at a table with old friendsAnd see which one of us can tell the biggest lies[Verse 5]And there's a girl just fallin' in loveNear where the pianola standsWith a young local factory auto worker, just holdin' handsAnd I'm wonderin' if he'll go or if he'll stayDo you remember nothin' stopped us on the field in our day[Verse 6]Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driverAnd there's nothin' else could set fire to this townThere's no change, there's no paceEverythin' within its placeJust makes it harder to believe that she won't be around[Verse 7]Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driverAnd there's nothin' else could set fire to this townThere's no change, there's no paceEverythin' within its placeJust makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
