By the time I make Albuquerque he'll be workin'
And he'll cry just to think I'd really leave him
'Cause I've left that man so many times before
But he'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
He'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
Off the wall, that's all
Oh, he just didn't know I would really go
He'll turn softly and call my name out low
And he'll laugh when he reads the part that says I'm leavin'
Though time and time I've tried to tell him so
By the time I make Oklahoma he'll be sleepin'
