By The Time I Get To Phoenix / Wichita Lineman

Lyrics

By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising (She'll be rising) Then she'll see the note I left hanging on her door Don't you know she'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving 'Cause I've left that girl (Left that girl, left that girl) So many times before (So many times before) By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be working (9 to 5, she'll be working, 9 to 5) She'll probably pick up the phone just to give me a call (Telling me that she loves me, telling me that) But don't you know that phone, that phone, that phone Kept 'a right on ringing Off the wall, that's all (Off the wall, off the wall, off the wall, that's all) I am a lineman for the county And I drive the main road (Drive the main road) Searching in the sun for another overload And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the Wichita lineman is still on the line By the time I get to Phoenix By the time I get to Phoenix She'll be rising (By the time I get to Phoenix, by the time I get to Phoenix) By the time I get to Phoenix By the time I get to Phoenix She'll be rising (By the time, she's rising) By the time I get to Phoenix By the time I get to Phoenix She'll be rising (By the time I get to Phoenix, by the time I get to Phoenix, oh yeah) By the time I get to Phoenix By the time I get to Phoenix She'll be rising (My baby's rising, yeah, oh, oh baby, oh yeah) By the time I get to Phoenix By the time I get to Phoenix She'll be rising (By the time I get to Phoenix, oh yeah) By the time I get to Phoenix By the time I get to Phoenix She'll be rising (Oh, by the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising)
