By the time I get to Phoenix she´ll be rising she´ll find the note 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 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 loud and she´ll cry just to think I´d really leave her tho´ time and time I try to tell her so she just didn´t know I would really go.
