By the Time I Get to Phoenix Songtext
von Priscilla Paris

By the time he got to Phoenix I was risin′
I found the note he left hangin' on my door
I laughed when I read the part that said he′s leavin'
'Cause he′s left me, oh, so many times before


By the time he made Albuquerque I was workin′
But I took time off for lunch to give him a call
But I just heard that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall, that′s all

By the time he made Oklahoma I was sleepin'
And I turned to him and called his name out loud
I cried just to think he′d really leave me
Though time and time he tried to tell me so
I just didn't know he would really go
