By The Time I Get To Phoenix

Verse 1
Where’s luck when I need it the most?....
Where’s a genie to grant me three wishes?....
Where’s a rainbow with a pot of gold?....
Where’s a rabbit’s foot that I can hold?....
I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes....
And I’ve been away from you for awhile....
I begged you to give me a chance....
But you went your own way....

Verse 2
I’ve made promises I’ve never kept....
I caused you to be disappointed in me....
I feel so ashamed of myself....
Why did I act that way to you?....
Forget about turning back time....
Nothing good happened in the past....
I don’t even look onwards to the future....
My state of mind is frozen in the present....

Bridge 1
By the time I get to Phoenix........
I’ll have tears falling from my eyes....
My heart will sink to my feet....

Bridge 2
Even if I were a bird....
I wouldn’t be able to fly away from my problems....
They’re with me wherever I go....
They won’t disappear....
But I can forget about them for awhile....

Chorus
By the time I get to Phoenix........
I’ll have tears falling from my eyes....
My heart will sink to my feet....
I’ll be drowning in a sea of regret....
