Roger Miller
By The Time I Get To Phoenix
By the time I get to Phoenix she ll be rising
She ll find the note I left hangin on her door
She ll laugh when she reads the part that says I m leavin
Cause I ve left that girl so many times before
By the time I make Albuquerque she ll be working
She ll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she ll just hear that phone keep on ringin
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 tried to tell her so
She just didn t know I would really go.
AD LIB:
No, she didn t know I d go
