By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising.
She'll find the note
I left hanging on her door.
She'll laugh when she reads
The part that says I'm leaving
`Cause I've left that girl
So many times before.
By the time I make Albuquerque
She'll be working.
She'll probably stop for lunch
And give me a call.
But she'll just hear the phone
Keep on ringing,
On the wall, that's all.
By the time I reach Oklahoma
She'll be sleeping.
She'll turn softly
And call my name out low.
And she'll cry just to think

Cuando llegue a Phoenix
Ella se estará levantando.
Encontrará la nota
Que dejé colgando de su puerta.
Se reirá cuando lea
La parte donde dice que me voy
Porque ya abandoné a esa chica
Tantas veces antes.
Cuando llegue a Albuquerque
Ella estará trabajando.
Probablemente se detenga a almorzar
Y me haga una llamada.
Pero sólo va a escuchar
Sonar el teléfono,
En la pared, eso es todo.
Cuando llegue a Oklahoma
Ella estará durmiendo.
Se dará vuelta suavemente
Y susurrará mi nombre.
Y se pondrá a llorar pensando
Que la dejé de verdad,
Aunque de vez en cuando
Intenté decírselo.
Ella simplemente no sabía
que yo me iba a ir ... |
