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. |
