By the time I get to Phoenix
she'll be rising
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 girl
so many times before
By the time I make Albuquerque
she'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch
just to give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone
keep on ringin'
off the wall and that's all
By the time I make Oklahoma
she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly
and call my name out low
And she'll cry
just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I try
I try to tell her so
But she just didn't know
I would really go
She didn't know I would go
Time and time I try to tell her so
Oh, but she didn't know I would go
Even though I try
and I try to tell her so
Oh, girl just didn't know
she didn't know I would go
