Jimmy Webb - By The Time I Get To Phoenix lyrics

rate me

By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising<br />

She'll find the note I left hanging on her door<br />

She'll laugh when she reads the part that says<br />

I'm leaving 'cause I've left that girl so many time before<br />

<br />

By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be working<br />

She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call<br />

But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing<br />

Off the wall, that's all<br />

<br />

By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping<br />

She'll turn softly and call my name out low<br />

And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her<br />

Though time and time I've tried to tell her so<br />

She just didn't know I would really go
