By The Time I Get To Phoenix (Live/1970) Songtext
von 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
