By The Time I Get To Phoenix

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

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

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 Albuquerque

She'll be working

She'll probably stop at lunch

And give me a call

But she'll just hear the phone

Keep on 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 loud

She'll cry just to think

I'd really leave her

Though time and time

I've tried to tell her so

She just didn't know

I would really go
