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 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 Well I ain't waiting on no phone call I ain't getting my hopes up at all I ain't setting 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 Oh yeah they do It's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A.
