By the time I get to Phoenix
she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left
hanging on her 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
By the time I make Albuquerque
she'll be working
She'll prob'ly stop at lounch
and give me a call
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
and 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
she'll turn softly
and 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
