By The Time I Get To Phoenix - Jimmy Webb

By the time I get to Phoenix she’ll be risin'

She’ll find the note I left hangin' on her door

She’ll laugh when she reads the part that says I’m leavin'

'cause I’ve left that girl so many time before

By the time I make Albuquerque she’ll be workin'

She’ll prob’ly stop at lunch and give me a call

But she’ll just hear that phone keep on ringin'

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 leave her

'tho' time and time I’ve tried to tell her so

She just didn’t know I would really go
