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
