Intro: By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be risin She'll find the note I left hangin on her door She'll laugh when she reads the part that say I'm leaving Cause I've left that girl so many times before By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be workin She'll probably 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 low BbM7 And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her But time and time I've tried to tell her so She just didn't know I would really go Interlude: By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be workin She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin.
