By The Time I Get To Phoenix, She'll Be Rising
And She'll Find That Note That I Left Hanging On The Door
And She'll Laugh When She Reads The Part
That Says: "I'm Leaving"
Cause I've Left That Girl So Many Times Before


And By The Time I Get To Albuquerque, She'll Be Working
And She'll Take Off Time Just To Give Me A Call
And She'll Hear That Phone Keep Right On Ringing And Ringing
On The Wall, Yeah Oh, That's All


And By The Time I Make Oklahoma, She'll Be Sleeping
She'll Turn Softly In Her Sleep And Call My Name Out Low
And Then She'll Cry Just To Think That I'd Really Leave Her, I Left Her
But Time After Time After Time I Tried To Tell Her So
But She Just Didn't Know That I Would Really Go
That I Would Really Go
