By the Time I Get to Phoenix

By the Time I Get to Phoenix - Lloyd Price

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

She'll find the note I left hanging on her door

I know she'll she'll laugh

When she reads the part that says I'm leaving

'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working

She works so hard

Probably stop at lunch and give me a call

She is just always there

But she'll just hear that phone

Keep on ringing off the wall

That's all

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleeping

She'll she gonna turn softly and call my name out low

And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her

Though time and time oh I've tried to tell her

So my my my

'Cause she just didn't know

Oh I've got my things and go

And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her

Though time and time I've tried to tell her

So my my my

She just didn't know

Oh I've got my things and go

Go go go go go go go go
