Lyrics of By the time i get to phoenix

By the time i get to phoenix she'll be rising
He'll find the note i left hanging on his door
And he'll laugh when he reads the part that says, i'm leaving
'cause i've left that man so many times before

By the time i make albuquerque, he'll be working
He'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But he'll just hear that phone, keep on ringing
Off the wall, that's all

By the time i make oklahoma, he'll be sleeping
He'll turn softly and call my name out loud
And he'll cry just to think i'd really leave him
Though time and time, i try to tell him so
Oh, he just didn't know i would really go
I would really go
