By The Time I Get To Phoenix lyrics

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
