Lyric By The Time I Get To Phoenix

(J. Webb)

By the time I get to Phoenix, she ll be rising
And she ll find that note that I left hanging on the door
And she ll laugh when she reads the part
That says: "I m leaving"
Cause I ve left that girl so many times before


And by the time I get to Albuquerque, she ll be working
And she ll take off time just to give me a call
And she ll hear that phone keep right on ringing and ringing
On the wall, yeah oh, that s all


And by the time I make Oklahoma, she ll be sleeping
She ll turn softly in her sleep and call my name out low
And then she ll cry just to think that I d really leave her, I left her
But time after time after time I tried to tell her so
But she just didn t know That I would really go
That I would really go
