Magdalena from on·ward by Leslie Waugh

The winds of change were cold and kickin’ up
It made him feel a little older
He swore the highway would be his love
Now it weighed heavy on his shoulders

He met Magdalena in Santa Fe
There were moonbeams in her smile
Suddenly he was swept away
He thought he’d stay with her a while

He said, Oh Magdalena
For you I’d make a home
With your brown eyes glowin’
So easy goin’, I’ll never roam from Magdalena

It wasn’t easy to give it up
Down by the crossroads he would wonder
If he heard the highway call his name

It echoed through him just like thunder
Magdalena, she knew his heart
He was always free to go
And if he did she knew he’d come right back
A thousand times he told her so

He said, Oh Magdalena
You’re the reason I come home
To your brown eyes glowin’
So easy goin’, I’ll never roam

Oh Magdalena
You’re the only home I’ve known
And your brown eyes are glowin’
So easy goin’, I’ll never roam
So easy goin’, I’ll never roam
Oh Magdalena
