By the Time I Get to Phoenix

By the time I get to Phoenix, he'll be rising
He'll find the note I left hanging on his door

He'll laugh when he reads the part that says
I'm leaving 'cause I've left that man so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque, he'll be working
He'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call

But he'll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Off the wall, that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma, he'll be sleeping
He'll turn softly and call my name out low
And he'll cry just to think I'd really leave him

Though time and time I've tried to tell him so
But he just didn't know I would really go
