Flame Trees

Flame Trees - Jimmy Barnes

Kids out driving Saturday afternoon just pass me by

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

Song a book a room to 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 it 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

She won't be around

That's sentimental b******t anyway

It takes more than just a memory me cry

I'm happy just to sit here 'round a table with old friends

And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies

There's a girl she's falling in love near where the pianola stands

With her young local factory out of worker 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

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
