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 so many times before. |
| By the time I make Albuquerque she’ll be working. |
| She’ll probably stop for lunch and give me a call. |
| But she’ll just hear the phone keep on ringing, on the wall, that’s all. |
| By the time I reach Oklahoma she’ll be sleeping. |
| She’ll turn softly and call my name out low. |
| And she’ll cry just to think I’d really leave her, |
| Though time and time again I tried to tell her so. |
| She just didn’t know I would really go. |
