By The Time I Get To Phoenix Lyrics - 10 Easy Pieces - Jimmy Webb

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 time 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, 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 just didn't know I would really go
