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 low, 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
