Lyric By The Time I Get To Phoenix

Words & Music by Jimmy Webb

By the time I get to Phoenix she ll be rising
She ll find the note I left hangin on her door
She ll laugh when she reads the part that says I m leavin
Cause I ve left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she ll be working
She ll prob ly stop at lunch and give me a call
But she ll just hear that phone keep on ringin
Off the wall that s all

By the time I make Oklahoma she ll be sleepin
She ll turn softly and call my name out loud
And she ll cry just to think I d really leave her
Tho time and time I try to tell her so
She just didn t know I would really go.
