By the Time I Get to Phoenix

By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be risin'
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 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
