Lyrics
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be risin'
And she'll find that note I left hangin' on her door
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 workin'
And she'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone go right on ringin'
Off the wall, and that's all
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
She'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
But time and time again I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go
