Lyrics
By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hanging on her door
Oh 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 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 ringing
Of the wall, that's all
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her, oh
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go
Writer(s): Jimmy Webb
