By the time I get to Phoenix` she`ll be rising,
She`ll find the note I left upon her door
She`ll laugh at the part that says I`m leaving
Oh I`ve left that girl so many times before
By the time I made Albaguerqe she`ll be working
She`ll probably stop for lunch, and give me a call
But she`ll just hear that phone go right on ringing
of the wall, that`s all
By the time I made Oklahoma she`ll be sleeping
She`ll turn softly, and call my name real low
She`ll cry to think I realy leave her
`Cause time and time I`ve tried to tell her so
She just didn`t know I would realy go
