Lyrics By The Time I Get To Phoenix - Live/1970 - Stevie Wonder

By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising above
She'll find the note
I left hanging on her door
She'll laugh, hah, when she reads the part
Says I'm leavin', oh I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that no-good woman so many times before, oh yeah

By the time I make Albuquerque
She'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
She'll just hear, that phone keep right on ringing, right on ringing
Off the wall, and she call

Oh by the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleeping, sound asleep
She'll turn softly and call Steven out low
She'll cry, to think that I, really leave her, oh I really leave her
Oh time and time again
I tried to tell that stupid woman so yeah
She didn't know, that I would really go
Really go
