By the Time I Get to Phoenix Songtext
von Vic Damone

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
Tho' time and time I try to tell her so
She just didn′t know I would really go.
