By The Time I Get To Phoenix

By The Time I Get To Phoenix - Bobby Goldsboro

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

Tho' time and time

I try to tell her so

She just didn't know

I would really go
