By the Time I Get to Phoenix

[Verse 1]
By the time I get to Phoenix
He'll be rising
He'll find the note I left a-hangin' on his door
He'll laugh when he reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that man so many times before

[Verse 2]
By the time I make Albuquerque
He'll be working
He'll probably stop at lunch just to give me a call
But he'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall
That's all

[Verse 3]
By the time I make Oklahoma
He'll be sleepin'
He'll turn softly and he'll call my name out low
And he'll cry just to think I would really leave him
Though time and time, and time again I tried to tell him so
He just didn't know
I would really go
