- Intro: A E A E
-
- A E
- The kids are driving and Saturday afternoon just passed me by
- A E
- I'm just savouring familiar sights
- A E
- We shared some history, this town and I
- A B G#m Av
- And I can't stop that long-forgotten feeling of her
- A B E
- 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:
- A B F#m
- And oh the flame trees'll blind a weary driver
- Av B E
- And there's nothing that can set fire to this town
- A B C#m E
- There's no change, there's no pace, everything within its place,
- A B E
- Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
-
-
- A E
- Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway
- A E
- It takes more than just a memory to make me cry
- A E
- And I'm happy just to sit here at a table with old friends
- A E
- And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
- A E
- And there's a girl, she's fallin' in love near where the pianola stands
- A E
- With a young local factory auto worker -- just holdin' hands
- A G#m B
- And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay
- C G C G D E
- Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our day
-
- CHORUS
