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 oh, that phone will just keep on ringing
Off the wall, that's all
ย
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
And I know she'll cry to think I'd really leave her
For time and time I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I'd really go
Oh baby, baby, this time I'm leaving
I love you, I love you, but I've gotta leave you, baby
Don't you know, don't you know that I'm leaving this time?
By the time I get to Phoenix you're gonna realize I'm gone this time
I love you, I love you, I love you, but I'm leaving
I've got to leave you this time now, baby, baby
I may have to cry a little bit but I'm going
