Johnny Rivers By The Time I Get To Phoenix Lyrics

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note that I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm
leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll prob'ly 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 loud
And she'll cry just to think that I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time again I try to tell'er so
She just didn't know that I would really go.
