By The Time I Get To Phoenix
(Jimmy Webb)Original by Johnny Rivers in 1966
Live concert - September 9, 1970 - Veteran's Memorial Coliseum - Phoenix - Evening show
- UnreleasedShe'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall that's all
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out loud
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I try to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go.
