By the Time I Get to Phoenix Lyrics
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 parts
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 try to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go
