By the Time I Get to Pheonix Songtext
von Glen Campbell

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 parts that says "I'm leavin′"
′Cause I've left that girl so many times before


And by the time I make Albuquerque, she′ll be working
And she'll probably stop at lunch
Lord and give me a call
But she′ll just hear that phone keep right on and ringin'
Off the wall and that′s all

And by the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleepin'
She′ll turn softly and call my name loud
Lord and she′ll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Though time and time I try to tell her so, God know
Guess she just didn′t know that I would really go

No, she didn't know I′d go
She didn't know I′d go
