Gate 22, two hour delay
 She was waitin' 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
 It was midnight in the middle of JFK
 Tryin' to take my 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've 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
 She opened up after a drink
 Said, she started law school in the spring
 And by the time that she had three
 I know 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
 It was midnight in the middle of JFK
 Tryin' to take my 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've missed my plane
 Now there ain't a single thing I wouldn't trade
 For a ticket to L.A.
 And now Gate 22 is callin' out her name
 She wrote her number on my hand and walked away
 Alone here in the middle of JFK
 Sittin' near the bar in an empty gate
 I'd do anything to bring her back
 Never wanted anything so bad
 She got me wishin' that she could stay
 Doesn't even know that I've 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., yeah
 A ticket to L.A.
 A ticket to L.A.
 A ticket to L.A., yeah, yeah
