By the Time I Get to Phoenix - Doris Duke
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'
Yes he will 'cause I've left that man 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'
Yes she will
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
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time and time I get
I try to tell her so
She just didn't know that I would really go
He didn't belive I really go
But I try to tell her man so
