By The Time I Get To Phoenix

[Verse 1]
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be risin'
She'll find the note that I left hanging on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl, left that girl many times before

[Verse 2]
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be workin'
She'll probably stop for lunch, give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Ringin' off the wall, that's all
That's all, that's all

[Verse 3]
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
She'll cry to think, to think I'd really leave her
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so
She didn't know I really would go
