By the time I get to Phoenix, she’ll be risin’
She’ll find the note I left hangin’ on her door
She’ll laugh when she reads the part that says I’m leavin’

Off the wall, that is all

By the time I make Oklahoma, she’ll be sleepin’
She’ll turn softly and call my name out low
Oh, and she’ll cry just to think I’d really leave her
‘Though time and time, I’ve tried to tell her so
