By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising   She'll find the note I left hanging on her door   She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving   Cause I've left that girl so many times before   By the time I've made Albuquerque she'll be working   She'll probably stop at lounch and give me a call   But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing off the wall that's all   By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleeping   She'll softly turn and call my name out low   And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her   Though time and time I've tried to tell her so she just didn't know I would really go
