Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Lyrics for Song: By The Time I Get To Phoenix
 Lyrics for Album: Kicking Against the Pricks [1986]
 
 
 
 9528>By the time I get to Phoenix he'll be risin'
 
 
 
 He'll find the note I left hangin' on his door
 
 
 
 And he'll laugh when he reads the part that says I'm leavin'
 
 
 
 'Cause I've left that man so many times before
 
 
 
 By the time I make Albuquerque he'll be workin'
 
 
 
 He'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
 
 
 
 But he'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
 
 
 
 Off the wall, that's all
 
 
 
 By the time I make Oklahoma he'll be sleepin'
 
 
 
 He'll turn softly and call my name out low
 
 
 
 And he'll cry just to think I'd really leave him
 
 
 
 Though time and time I've tried to tell him so
 
 
 
 Oh, he just didn't know I would really go
 
 
 
 I would really go
 
 9528>
