Marian McPartland - By the Time I Get to Phoenix

Текст песни

By the time I get to Phoenix
She’ll be rising
She’ll find the note I left hanging on her door
She’ll laugh, when she reads the part that says I’m leaving
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 ringing
Off the wall, that’s all
By the time I make Oklahoma
She’ll be sleeping
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’ve tried to tell her so She just didn’t know,
I would really go
