I Heard I Was In Town

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

Passed 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
