Lyrics

[Verse 1] By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising She'll find the note that I left hanging on the door She'll laugh when she reads the part that says, "I'm leaving" 'Cause I've left that girl so many times before [Verse 2] By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be working She'll probably stop at lunch, and give me a call But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing Off the wall That's all [Verse 3] By the time I make 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 I tried to tell her so She just didn't know I would really go
