By the Time I Get to Phoenix (Live) Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh, now now
Oh, now now
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be risin'
She'll find that note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that say I'm leavin'
Oh, 'cause I left that girl so many, so many times before
Uh
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be workin'
She'll probably stop at lunch, give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall, that's all
Hey!
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my, call my name out low
She'll cry just to think I'd really leave her, huh
Though time and time I tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go, oh
Huh, this time, huh, huh
Now that's a sign, sign of the man, huh
Workin' on the chain gang, hey, hey, hey
Keep on workin', try your luck
Keep on workin', I got the trouble
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Keep on workin', keep on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keep on workin', hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Keep on, huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Keep on
