BY THE TIME
I GET TO PHOENIX
SHE'LL BE RISIN'
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 WORKIN'
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 SLEEPIN'
SHE'LL TURN SOFTLY
AND CALL MY NAME
OUT LOW
AND 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
