By The Time I Get To Phoenix

Lyrics

[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
