By the Time I Get to 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, when she reads the part

That says I'm leavin'

'Cause I've left that girl

So many ti-imes before

By the time I make Albuquerque

She'll be workin'

She'll prob'ly stop at lunch

And give me a call

But she'll just hear that pho-o-one

Keep on ringin'

O-off the wall

That's all

By the time I make Oklahoma

She'll be sleepin'

She'll turn softly

Call my na-ame out low

And she'll cry-y

Just to thi-i-ink 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
