Lyric By The Time I Get to Phoenix

By the time I get to Phoenix
She ll find the note I left hanging on her door
She ll laugh when she reads the part that says I m leaving
Cause I ve left that gal so many times before

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

By the time I make Oklahoma she ll be sleeping
She ll turn softly, call my name out low
And she ll cry just to think I d really leave her
Though time and time I ve tried to tell her so
She just didn t know I would really go
