Lyrics:

By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be risin'
She'll find the 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 ti-imes before

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

By the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly
Call my na-ame out low
And she'll cry-y
Just to thi-i-ink I'd really leave her
Though time and time
I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know
I would really go
