By The Time I Get To Phoenix

By the time

I get to Phoenix he'll be rising

He'll find the note

I left hangin' on his door

He'll laugh when he reads the part that says

I'm leavin' '

Cause I've left that man so many times before

By the time

I make Albuquerque he'll be workin'

He'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call

But he'll just hear that 'phone keep on ringin'

Off the wall that's all

By the time

I make Oklahoma he'll be sleepin'

He'll turn softly and call my name out low

Might even cry just to think

I'd really leave

Though time an' time

I tried to tell him so

He just didn't know that

I would really go
