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
