The moment I wake up, before I put on my makeup
By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising
I'll say a little prayer for you
She'll find the note I left hanging on her door
While combing my hair now
And 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 at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Off the wall, mean heartbreak for me, that's all
I run for the bus dear, while riding I think of us dear
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping
I'll say a little prayer for you
She'll turn softly, and call my name out low
At work I just take time, and she'll cry just to think
And all through my day, I really gave her a time
No time in time I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know, I would really go
No, she didn't know I'd go
No, she didn't know I'd go
