By The Time I Get To Phoenix Lyrics - A Woman's Touch - Thelma Houston

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

He'll find the note I left hanging on his door 

And he'll laugh when he reads the part that says, I'm leaving 

'Cause I've left that man so many times before 

By the time I make Albuquerque, he'll be working 

He'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call 

But he'll just hear that phone, keep on ringing 

Off the wall, that's all 

By the time I make Oklahoma, he'll be sleeping 

He'll turn softly and call my name out loud 

And he'll cry just to think I'd really leave him 

Though time and time, I try to tell him so 

Oh, he just didn't know I would really go 

I would really go
