Phoenix

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

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

She'll laugh just to think I didn't leave her

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



By the time I get to Albuquerque she'll be workin'

She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call

But the phone will just keep on ringing

Off the wall, that's all.



By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'

She'll turn softly and call my name, I know

She'll cry when she reads the part that I'm leaveing

But I've tried to tell her so many times before

She just, she just didn't know that I would really go...
