By The Time I Get To Phoenix lyrics

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

She'll find the note I left upon her door

And she'll laugh at the part that says I'm leaving

Oh, I've left that girl so many times before.

By the time I made Albuquerque she'll be working

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

But she'll just hear that phone go

Right on ringing off the wall, that's all.

By the time I made Oklahoma she'll be sleeping

She'll turn softly, and call my name real low

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

'Cause time and time I've tried to tell her so.

She just didn't know I would really go...
