By The Time I Get To Phoenix

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

She'll find the 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, left that girl many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be working

She'll probably stop for lunch, give me a call

But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing

Ringing of the wall, that's all, that's all, that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping

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

She'll cry just to think, to think I'd really leave her

Though time and time, I tried to tell her so

She just didn't know I really would go
