I heard i was in town By: jimmy buffett, michael utley 1981 For the people of key west Past, present and future Came to see friends Walk old streets again Grab a bite and a beer by the sea It caught my attention The old town has grown That's why i came alone I've been treated well I raised all kinds of hell When a full tank was only a fin Ain't it quite funny how things turn around I heard i was in town Madman in a pickup truck So many years ago Changes have come like the storms of the season But time here still moves slow Pa**ed the old joints My favorite haunts We'd stay for twelve or ten Ain't it quite funny word gets around I heard i was in town (instrumental) I was a madman in a pickup truck So many years ago Changes have come like the storms of the seasons Time here still moves slow Came to see friends Walk old streets again Maybe strike up a tune with the moon Don't it seem funny Word gets around I heard i was in town Coda: Ain't it quite funny Word gets around I heard i was in town - notes: Acoustic lead guitar by barry chance
