By the Time I Get to Phoenix

By the Time I Get to Phoenix - Marty Robbins

Lyrics by：Jim Webb

Composed by：Jim Webb

Produced by：Bob Johnston

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising

She'll find the note I left upon her door

And she'll laugh at word that says I'm leaving

Oh I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working

She'll probably stop for lounch and give me a call

But she'll just hear that phone go right a ringing

Off the wall that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleeping

She'll turn softly and call my name out low

And she'll cry just to think

I'd really leave her

'Cause time and time I've tried to tell her so

She just didn't know I would really go
