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