Intro

The kids are driving and Saturday afternoon just passed me by

I'm just savouring familiar sights

We shared some history, this town and I

Av

And I can't stop that long-forgotten feeling of her

In time to book a room and stay tonight

Number 1 is to find some friends and say "you're doing well --

After all this time you boys look just the same"

Number 2 is the Happy Hour at one of two hotels

And settle in to play "Do you remember so-and-so"

Number 3 is never say her name

Chorus

And oh the flame trees'll blind a weary driver

Av

And there's nothing that can 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, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway

It 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

And there's a girl, she's fallin' in love near where the pianola stands

With a young local factory auto worker -- just holdin' 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
