By the Time I Get to Phoenix

By the time I get to Phoenix She'll be rising And she'll find the note I left hangin' on her 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 make Albuquerque She'll be working She'll probably stop at lunch Lord and give me a call But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing Off the wall And that's all And by the time I make Oklahoma She'll be sleeping She'll turn softly and call my name out low Lord and she'll cry, just to think, I'd really leave her Though time and time I've tried to tell her so, God knows If she just didn't know That I would really go Though she didn't know I know She didn't know I know
