By the time I get to phoenix, shell be risin

Shell find the note I left hangin on her door

And shell laugh when she reads the part that says Im leavin

cause I left that girl so many times before



By the time I make albuquerque shell be workin

Shell probably stop at lunch and give me a call

But shell just hear that phone keep on ringin

Off the wall, thats all



By the time I make oklahoma, shell be sleepin

Shell turn softly and call my name out low

And shell cry just to think Id really leave her

Though time and time Ive tried to tell her so

Oh, she didnt know

I would really go

I would really go...
