By the Time I Get to Phoenix

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising

He'll find the note I left hanging on his door

And he'll laugh when he reads the part that says, I'm leaving

'Cause I've left that man so many times beforeBy the time I make Albuquerque, he'll be working

He'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call

But he'll just hear that phone, keep on ringing

Off the wall, that's allBy the time I make Oklahoma, he'll be sleeping

He'll turn softly and call my name out loud

And he'll cry just to think I'd really leave him

Though time and time, I try to tell him so

Oh, he just didn't know I would really go

I would really go
