Ticket to L.A.

Gate 22, two-hour delay

She was waiting on a plane to L.A

I didn't see the harm in sitting 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

It was midnight in the middle of JFK

Trying to take my mind off the falling rain

I was saying anything to make her laugh

Never wanted anything so bad

She got me wishing if she could stay

Doesn't even know that I missed my plane

Now there ain't any single thing I wouldn't trade

For a ticket to L.A.

A ticket to L.A.

She opened up after a drink

Said she started law school in the spring

And by the time she had three

I knew almost everything

Lightning 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

It was midnight in the middle of JFK

Trying to take my mind off the falling rain

I was saying anything to make her laugh

Never wanted anything so bad

She got me wishing if she could stay

Doesn't even know that I missed my plane

Now there ain't any single thing I wouldn't trade

For a ticket to L.A.

Now Gate 22 is calling out her name

She wrote her number on my hand and walked away

Alone here in the middle of JFK

Sitting at a bar at an empty gate

I'd do anything to bring her back

Never wanted anything so bad

She got me wishing if she could stay

Doesn't even know that I missed my plane

Now there ain't any single thing I wouldn't trade

For a ticket to L.A.

A ticket to L.A.

Ticket to L.A.

A ticket to L.A.

Ticket to L.A.

A ticket to L.A.
