By The Time I Get To Phoenix Lyrics

By The Time I Get To Phoenix

(J. Webb) 
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
