By the Time I Get to Phoenix - Live

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

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

You'll laugh when you reads the part that says I'm leaving, yes, I'm leaving

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

By the time I get to Albuquerque, he'll be working

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

He'll just hear the phone keep on ringing off the wall, that's all

By the time I get to Oklahoma, he'll be sleeping

He'll turn softly and call my name out low

He'll cry just to think I really leave him

And time and time and time, I try to tell him so

He just didn't know

By the time I get to Oklahoma, he'll be sleeping

He'll turn softly and call my name out low

He'll cry just to think I really leave him

And time and time and time

And time and time and time, I try to tell him so

He just didn't know I would really go

I would really go

I would really go
