(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
