Isaac Hayes By The Time I Get To Phoenix Lyrics

By The Time I Get To Phoenix Lyrics

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 prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a
call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall that's
all

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly
and call my name out loud
And 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.
