Byt the time I get to Phoenix - Glen Campbell (1967 live) (with lyrics)

"By the Time I Get to Phoenix" is an American pop song written by Jimmy Webb, originally recorded by Johnny Rivers, in 1965. It became famous by Glen Campbell, whose version reached 3 on the U.S. Pop charts in 1967. 





(Lyrics)

By the time I get to Phoenix 
She'll be rising
She'll find the note 
I left hangin' on her door
And she'll laugh when she reads the part 
That says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque 
She'll be working
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch 
And give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone 
Keep on ringin' off the wall 
That's all

By the time I make Oklahoma 
She'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly 
Call my name out loud
And she'll cry 
Just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time 
I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know 
I would really go.

She didn't know 
 I would really go
