phoenix
Singer: mickey gilley
by the time i get to phoenix she'll be risin'
she'll find the note i left hangin' on her door
she'll laugh just to think i didn't leave her
'cause i've left that girl so many times before
by the time i get to albuquerque she'll be workin'
she'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
but the phone will just keep on ringing
off the wall
that's all
by the time i make oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
she'll turn softly and call my name
i know
she'll cry when she reads the part that i'm leaving
but i've tried to tell her so many times before
she just
she just didn't know that i would really go.
