Ticket to L.A.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Gate 22, two hour delay She was waiting on a plane to L.A. I didn't see the harm in sittin' down At the wrong gate She said "Hello, where you headed to?" I didn't lie, but I bent the truth Said "I'd go anywhere with you" And before long [Chorus] It was midnight in the middle of JFK Tryna take her mind off the fallin' rain I was saying anythin' to make her laugh Never wanted anything so bad She got me wishing that she could stay Doesn't even know that I missed my plane Now there ain't a single thing I wouldn't trade For a ticket to L.A., yeah, yeah A ticket to L.A., yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] She opened up after a drink Said she's starting law school in the spring And by the time that she had three I knew almost everything Lightnin' flashed across the sky I said it probably wasn't safe to fly Secretly, I hoped that she'd be stuck with me all night [Chorus] It was midnight in the middle of JFK Tryna take her mind off the fallin' rain I was sayin' anything to make her laugh Never wanted anything so bad She got me wishin' that she could stay Doesn't even know that I missed my plane Now there ain't a single thing I wouldn't trade For a ticket to L.A. [Bridge] Now gate 22 is calling out her name She wrote her number on my hand and walked away [Chorus] Alone here in the middle of JFK Sitting at a bar at an empty gate I'd do anythin' to bring her back Never wanted anything so bad She got me wishin' that she could stay Doesn't even know that I missed my plane Now there ain't a single thing I wouldn't trade For a ticket to L.A., yeah, yeah A ticket to L.A., yeah, yeah A ticket to L.A. A ticket to L.A. A ticket to L.A. Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo Woo-hoo-hoo A ticket to L.A., yeah, yeah
