Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
She was a day tripper,
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out, and I found out

Day tripper, day tripper, day tripper

She’s a big teaser,
She took me half the way there
She’s a big teaser,
She took me half the way there

One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out, and I found out
Day tripper,
Sunday driver, yeah
It took me so long to find out, and I found out

Day tripper, day tripper, day tripper

Got a good reason
