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
and give me a call
She'll just hear that phone
keep on ringin'
off the wall, that's all
(solo)
By the time I make Oklahoma
she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name
out low
She'll cry just to think
I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I try to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go
