By the Time I Get to Phoenix Songtext
von John Williams & The Boston Pops Orchestra

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 probably 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.
