• By The Time I Get To Phoenix

By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising.
Oh, she'll find a note I left hanging on the door.
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving. Oh, yes she will. Why?
Cause I left that girl so many times before. Oh.

By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be working.
And she'll probably stop at lunch just to give her, her sweet good thing a call.
And ohhh, she'll hear, oh, oh, the phone keeps right on ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing, oh, and ringing off the wall. Mama, Mama, that's all.

And by the time I get to Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping.
She'll turn softly in her restless sleep, call my name out low.
And ohhhh, then she'll cry just to think I-I-I-I-I-I would really leave her,
But time after time after time and time and again,
I tried to tell her so,
But she wasn't a believer, oh, and she did know,
Oh, that I-I-I-I-I would really go.
She didn't believe I would really go. Oh no.
I hate to leave you, baby. Yes I do.
I really, really, really hate to go,
Oh yeah, but this heart of mine just can't take no more.
I-I-I-I-I-I-I've taken all that I could stand.
You should've known what you were doing to the man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You see, when I left, baby, I left a good piece of my heart. Oh, yeah.
You know, you know, you know, you know you took, baby.
You know you...You know you took the greatest part. Oh, yeah.
I don't know how I'm gonna make it, oh no, but I got to go.
I'm gonna miss all the sweet loving and the good times,
But the good times weren't as heavy, aw, as the bad times. Oh, yeah.
You really, really put the hurt on me. Yes you did.
I'm a prisoner of your love and I just--I just won't ever be free, oh no,
So it's bye-bye. Oh, Mama, Mama, bye-bye.
Oh, bye-bye. Oh, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
It's too late for you to cry.
You had a good thing, oh, and you abused it. Yes you did. Yes you did.
You had a good heart, oh, and you misused it. Oh, yeah.
You were sweet to me, yes you were,
But on the other hand, you were real cold, cold, cold, cold.
You just kept me, oh,
You kept me hanging on. Yes you did.
Oh, oh, you kept me hanging on.
You kept me begging, begging,
You kept me begging to do right.
You kept me pacing the floor at night. Oh yeah.
But I love you. God knows that I love you, baby.
Ahh, yeah. I'll always love you, yeah.

(Instrumental break)

Raindrops of water beating under my chin.
You can look at me and tell all the pain I'm in.
Aw, yeah. Aw, yeah. I'm gonna moan now.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmmm, hmmmmm. Mmmmmmm, hmmmmm.
