By The Time I Get To Phoenix

Jimmy Webb

By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising
She'll find the note I left
Hanging on her door
And she'll laugh when she reads the part
That says I'm leaving
'Cause I've left that girl so
Many many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque
She'll be working
But she'll probably stop at lunch
And give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone
Keep on right on ringing
Off the wall, I'm afraid that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleeping
Shе'll probably turn softly and call
My name out low
She'll cry just to think that
I'd really lеave her
Though time and time I tried to tell her
I tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I'd really go
Really go really-really go

She didn't know I'd go
