By The Time I Get To Phoenix Lyrics By The Mad Lads

    it seems so far

    six o’clock

    by the time i get to phoenix she’ll be risin’
    she’ll find the note i left hanging on her door
    she’ll laugh when she ha ha ha ha reads the part
    that says i’m leaving i’m leavin’
    ’cause i’ve left that girl so many times before

    ten o’clock

    by the time i make albuquerque she’ll be workin’
    she’ll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
    but that phone will just keep on ringin’ ringin’ ringin’ ringin’ ringin’
    off the wall off off off the wall
    baby that’s all don’t you know that’s all

    twelve o’clock

    by the time i reach oklahoma she’ll be sleepin’ aaah
    she’ll turn softly and call my name so low julius bill john phil
    and i know she’ll cry i know she’ll cry to think i’m really leaving her to think i’m leaving her
    for time and time i’ve tried to tell her so
    she didn’t know she just didn’t want to know
    i’d really go i’d really go

    oh baby baby by the time i get to phoenix
    i love ya but i’m leavin baby baby
    by the time i get to phoenix i’m gonna miss your love
    but i got to leave ya baby baby
    by the time i get to phoenix this time
    this time i’m leavin girl baby baby
    by the time by the time i hate to leave i
    get to phoenix but i got to go baby baby
    by the time by the time i’m going to miss your love i
    get to phoenix i’m going to miss your kiss baby baby
    by the time by the time but i got to leave ya
    i get to phoenix baby baby baby
    by the time i love ya i
