By the time
I get to Phoenix she'll be risin'
She'll find the note
I left hanging on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving 'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
By the time I make
A lbuquerque
She'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing off the wall that's all
By the time I make
Oklahoma
She'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think
I'd really love her
Though time and time
I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know
I would really go
