By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be risin'
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 workin'
She'll probably stop at lounch 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
She'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go
