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
