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 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 I´d really leave her
Tho´ time and time I try to tell her so
She just didn´t know I would really go.
