By the Time I Get to Phoenix Songtext
von The Ventures

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
Though time and time I tried to tell her so
She just didn′t know I would really go
