REBA MCENTIRE - By The Time I Get to Phoenix lyrics

(jim webb)

By the time I get to phoenix he'll be risin'

He'll find the note I left hangin' on his door

And he'll laugh when he reads the part that says I'm leavin'

'cause I've left that man so many times before

By the time I make albuquerque he'll be workin'

He'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call

But he'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'

Off the wallthat's all

By the time I make oklahoma he'll be sleepin'

He'll turn softly and call my name out low

And he'll cry just to think I'd really leave him

Though time and time I've tried to tell him so

Ohhe just didn't know

I would really go

I would really go
