By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising (She'll be rising)
Then she'll see the note I left hanging on her door
Don't you know she'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving
'Cause I've left that girl (Left that girl, left that girl)
So many times before (So many times before)
By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be working (9 to 5, she'll be working, 9 to 5)
She'll probably pick up the phone just to give me a call (Telling me that she loves me, telling me that)
But don't you know that phone, that phone, that phone
Kept 'a right on ringing
Off the wall, that's all (Off the wall, off the wall, off the wall, that's all)
I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road (Drive the main road)
Searching in the sun for another overload
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
By the time I get to Phoenix
By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising (By the time I get to Phoenix, by the time I get to Phoenix)
By the time I get to Phoenix
By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising (By the time, she's rising)
By the time I get to Phoenix
By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising (By the time I get to Phoenix, by the time I get to Phoenix, oh yeah)
By the time I get to Phoenix
By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising (My baby's rising, yeah, oh, oh baby, oh yeah)
By the time I get to Phoenix
By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising (By the time I get to Phoenix, oh yeah)
By the time I get to Phoenix
By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising (Oh, by the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising)
