By The Time I Get To Phoenix Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

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 lounch 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 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 didn't know that I would really go
