By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising. 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 Albuquerque, 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, thats all.
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping.
She'll turn softly and call my name out low. And she'll cry, just to think,
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.
