By the Time I Get to Phoenix Songtext
von Marty Robbins

By the time I get to Phoenix′ she'll be rising,
She′ll find the note I left upon her door
She'll laugh at the part that says I'm leaving
Oh, I′ve left that girl so many times before.


By the time I made Albaguerqe she′ll be working
She'll probably stop for lunch, and give me a call
But she′ll just hear that phone go
Right on ringing off the wall, that's all.

By the time I made Oklahoma she′ll be sleeping
She'll turn softly, and call my name real low
She′ll cry to think I realy leave her
'Cause time and time I've tried to tell her so.

She just didn′t know I would realy go...
