By the Time I Get to Phoenix

By The Time I Get To Phoenix - Graham Blvd.

By the time I get to Phoenix,

She'll be rising

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 working

She'll probably 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 loud

And she'll cry, just to think

I'd really leave her

Though time and time,

I tried to tell her so

She just didn't know I would really go
