By The Time I Get To Phoenix Lyrics - Hot Buttered Soul - Isaac Hayes

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising 

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 times before 

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working 

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 loud 

And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her 

Tho' time and time I try to tell her so 

She just didn't know I would really go
