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
Thats why I came alone
Ive been treated well
I raised all kinds of hell
When a full tank was only a fin
Aint 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
Wed stay for twelve or ten
Aint 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
Dont it seem funny
Word gets around
I heard I was in town
Coda:
Aint it quite funny
Word gets around
I heard I was in town
- notes:
Acoustic lead guitar by barry chance
The lyrics I HEARD I WAS IN TOWN of JIMMY BUFFETT is also present in the album Boats, beaches, bars & ballads (1992)
Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) è stato un cantautore, musicista e scrittore statunitense, noto per il suo stile musicale definito "Parrothead", che fonde elementi di country, folk, rock e calypso. Nato a Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett ha trascorso la sua infanzia in diverse località degli Stati Uniti prima di stabilirsi a Key West, Florida, dove ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '70. Il suo successo è legato a brani come "Margaritaville", "Come Monday" e "Cheeseburger in Paradise", che hanno reso Buffett un'icona della cultura americana, associata a un'atmosfera rilassata e paradisiaca. Oltre alla musica, Buffett ha scritto diversi libri di narrativa e saggistica, tra cui il best-seller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". La sua musica e la sua personalità hanno ispirato una vasta community di fan, i "Parrotheads", che celebrano la vita semplice e l'amore per le vacanze. Buffett è morto nel 2023 all'età di 76 anni.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
