Henry Diltz
[Verse 1]
He's leavin' town and we don't know why
The public police talk with the witch of his eye
He owns a big liquor store and talks with his fists
But somethin's pulled at him he can't resist
[Chorus]
Magnetic Mama, how could be it you?
Who woulda guessed it, we thought that you too were through
Magnetic Mama, the man's on the fly
He's pullin' out and we don't know why
[Verse 2]
He somersaulted through the buttercups
Ramblin' Randy couldn't catch him up
It looks like the fat man's just sweatin' it off
But you're the flame and he's moth
[Chorus]
Magnetic Mama, how could be it you?
Who woulda guessed it, wе thought that you too were through
Magnetic Mama, thе sleepin' dog's up
He somersault through the buttercups
[Verse 3]
He's headed West to meet the sun comin' down
He ran the road you ran when you were run out of town
And like a ship who disappears and fades out of sight
His memories'll keep 'im warm tonight
[Chorus]
Magnetic Mama, how could be it you?
Who woulda guessed it, we thought that you too were through
Magnetic Mama, the man left his town
He's rollin' West to meet the sun comin' down
