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 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 times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working

She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call

But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'

Off the wall that's all

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

She'll turn softly and call my name out loud

And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her

Tho' time and time I try to tell her so

She just didn't know I would really go.
