By the time I get to phoenix, shell be risin
Shell find the note I left hangin on her door
And shell laugh when she reads the part that says Im leavin
cause I left that girl so many times before
By the time I make albuquerque shell be workin
Shell probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But shell just hear that phone keep on ringin
Off the wall, thats all
By the time I make oklahoma, shell be sleepin
Shell turn softly and call my name out low
And shell cry just to think Id really leave her
Though time and time Ive tried to tell her so
Oh, she didnt know
I would really go
I would really go...
