By The Time You Got To Phoenix Lyrics - Wanda Jackson

BY THE TIME YOU GOT TO PHOENIX 

(Jim Webb) 

'67 Jonathan Tree Music 

By the time you got to Phoenix I was rising 

I read the note you left hanging on my door 

Once again I read the words that said you're leaving 

But you've left me so many times before 

By the time you made Albuquerque I was working 

And at lounch I gave your best friend a call 

He told me that he'd love me for so long now 

He's been waiting for you to leave that's all 

By the time you make Oklahoma you'll be lonely 

You'll remember all the love I gave to you 

You'll cry and you'll whisper I'm sorry 

But it's too late cause I'd found a love that's true
