By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising
She'll find the note
I left hanging on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part
That says I'm leaving
'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 ringing
Off the wall that's all
By the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleeping
