LYRICS
作词 : Jimmy Webb
作曲 : Jimmy Webb
By the time I get to Phoenix, he'll be rising
He'll find the note I left hanging on his door
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 low
And he'll cry just to think I'd really leave him
Though time and time I've tried to tell him so
But he just didn't know I would really go
