By The Time I Get To Phoenix Lyrics - Marty Robbins

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

She'll find the note I left upon her door 

And she'll laugh at word that says I'm leaving 

Oh I've left that girl so many times before 

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working 

She'll probably stop for lounch and give me a call 

But she'll just hear that phone go right a 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 

Cause time and time I've tried to tell her so 

She just didn't know I would really go
