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 probably stop at lunch
Just to give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone
Keep on ringin'
Off the wall and that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly
And call my name out low
And she'll cry
Just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I try
I try to tell her so
But she just didn't know
I would really go
She didn't know I would go
Time and time I try to tell her so
Oh, but she didn't know I would go
Even though I try
And I try to tell her so
Oh, girl just didn't know
She didn't know I would go
