By the Time I Get to Phoenix

Jimmy Webb

[Verse 1]
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be risin' (She'll be risin')
She'll find the note that I left hanging 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

[Verse 2]
And by the time I make Albuquerque she'll be workin'
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just, she'll just hear that empty phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall (Off the wall)
That's all

[Verse 3]
And by the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
She'll cry, she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
'Cause time and time, I've tried to tell her so (Tell her so)
She just didn't know (Just didn't know)
I would really go (I would really go, I would really go, I would really go)
(I would really go, I would really go, I would really go)

[Verse 4]
She'll cry, she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
'Cause time and time, I've tried to tell her so (Tell her so)
She just didn't know (Just didn't know)
I would really go (I would really go, I would really go, I would really go)
(I would really go, I would really go, I would really go)
