作词 : Webb
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  parts
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  loud
And  she'll  cry  just  to  think  I'd  really  leave  her
Though  time  and  time  I  try  to  tell  her  so,
She  just  didn't  know  I  would  really  go
