By the time I get to
Phoenix he'll be rising
He'll find the note
I left hangin' on
his door
And he'll laugh when
he reads the part
that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that
man so many times
before
By the time I make
Albuquerque he'll be
workin'
He'll probably stop
at lunch and give
me a call
But he'll just here
that phone keep
on ringin'
Off the wall
that's all
By the time I make
Oklahoma
He'll be sleepin'
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
He just didn't know
I would really go
By the time I make
Oklahoma
He'll be sleepin'
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
He just didn't know
I would really go
