By The Time I Get To Phoenix Lyrics

[Verse]
By the time I get to Phoenix, he'll be rising
He'll find the note I left hanging on his door
And he'll laugh when he reads the part that says I'm leaving
Because I've left that man so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque he'll be working
He'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But he'll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Off the wall, that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma he'll be sleeping
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
Oh, he just didn't know
I would really go

[Outro]
I would really go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
