By the Time I Get to Phoenix Lyrics
[Verse 1]
By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising
She'll find the note that I left hanging on the door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says, "I'm leaving"
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
[Verse 2]
By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch, and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Off the wall
That's all
[Verse 3]
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping
She'll turn softly and call my name, out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Though time and time I tried to tell her so
She just didn't know
I would really go
By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising
She'll find the note that I left hanging on the door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says, "I'm leaving"
'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
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Off the wall
That's all
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping
She'll turn softly and call my name, out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Though time and time I tried to tell her so
She just didn't know
I would really go
