By the time I get to Phoenix, he'll be rising.
|
He'll find the note I left hangin' on his door.
|
He'll laugh when he reads the part that says I'm leavin',
|
'Cause I've left that man so many times before.
|
|
By the time I make Albuquerque, he'll be workin'.
|
He'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call.
|
But he'll just hear that 'phone keep on ringin',
|
Off the wall; that's all.
|
|
By the time I make Oklahoma, he'll be sleepin'
|
He'll turn softly and call my name out low.
|
Might even cry, just to think I'd really leave,
|
Though time an' time I tried to tell him so.
|
He just didn't know that I would really go.
