Well I love her and she's leaving
She met a man, plays in a band, last weekend
And he lives out on the west coast
She says she's gotta go
But it's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A.
Anything could change her mind
One sunset or one regret
She could turn around, come back, and be mine
Happy endings happen all the time
She's almost finished packing
It's over 2,000 miles- a lot can happen
There's gonna be days and days of long stretches
Maybe she'll come back to her senses
It's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A.
Anything could change her mind
One sunset or one regret
She could turn around, come back, and be mind
Happy endings happen all the time
Well I ain't waitin' on no phonecall
I ain't gettin' my hopes up
And I ain't settin' myself up for a fall
But it's still a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A.
Anything could change her mind
One sunset or one regret
She could turn around, come back, and be mine
Then everything would be just fine
Happy endings happen all the time
Oooo yeah they do
It's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A.
