BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX
By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be risin'
She'll find the note
I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads
The part that
says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl
So many times before
By the time I make Albuquerque
She'll be workin'
she'll pro'bly stop at
lunch
And give me a call
But she'll just hear
That phone keep on
ringin'
Off the wall, that's all
By the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly
And call my name out low
And she'll cry
Just to think I'd really
leave her
Tho' time and time
I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't
know
I would really go
