Lyrics

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 make Alberquerque, 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
Off 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

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
