Phoenix - Henson Cargill

By the time I get to Phoenix, he’ll be rising

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

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 prob’ly stop at lunch and give me a call

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

Off the wall;

that’s all

By the time I make Oklahoma, he’ll be sleepin'

He’ll turn softly and call my name out low

Might even cry, just to think I’d really leave

Though time an' time I tried to tell him so

He just didn’t know that I would really go
