By The Time I Get To Phoenix

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
