By the Time I Get to Phoenix

By the time he got to Phoenix I was risin'
I found the note he left hangin' on my door
I laughed when I read the part that said he's leavin'
'Cause he's left me, oh, so many times before

By the time he made Albuquerque I was workin'
But I took time off for lunch to give him a call
But I just heard that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall, that's all

By the time he made Oklahoma I was sleepin'
And I turned to him and called his name out loud
I cried just to think he'd really leave me
Though time and time he tried to tell me so
I just didn't know he would really go
