Ticket To L.A.

Gate 22, 2 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 her mind off the fallin' rain

I was saying anything 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

Not a 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's starting law school in the spring

And by the time that 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 her mind off the fallin' rain

I was saying anything 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

Not a 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 that she could stay

Doesn't even know that I missed my plane

Not a single thing I wouldn't trade

For a ticket to L.A

A ticket to L.A

A ticket to L.A

A ticket to L.A

A ticket to L.A

Uh uh uh

Uh uh uh

Uh uh uh

A ticket to L.A
