Well I love her,
And she's leaving.
She meet a man that plays in a band last weekend.
And he lives out on the west coast.
And she says shes got to go.

Chorus:
Cause it's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A.
Anything could change her mind,
One sunset or one regreat.
She could turn around, come back and be mine.
Happy endings happen all the time.

She's almost finished packing.
There's over 2,000 miles,
Alot could happen.
Theres going to be days and days of long streches.
Maybe she'll come back to her senses.

Chorus:
Cause it's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A.
Anything could change her mind,
One sunset or one regreat.
She could turn around, come back and be mine.
Happy endings happen all the time.

Well I ain't waitting on no phone call.
Iain't getting my hopes up and all.
I ain't seeting myself up for a fall.

It's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A.
Anything could chagne her mind,
One sunset or one regreat.
She could turn around, come back and be mine.
Then everything would be just fine.
Yea happy endings happen all the time.

It's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A.
