By the Time I Get to Phoenix Songtext
von Winston Francis

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.
