Day Tripper

in AlbumFlag

I've got a good reason

For taking the easy way out

I got a good reason

For taking the easy way out

She was a day tripper

One way ticket, yeah

It took me so

So long to find out but I found out

Now she's a big teaser

She took me half the way there

She's a big teaser

She took me half the way there

It was a day tripper

Sunday driver now

It took me so

So long but you know I found out

You can try to please her

She only plays one night stands

You can try just to please her

She only plays one night stands

She was a day tripper

One way baggage, yeah

It took me so

So long, well you know that I found out

(When I found out, when found out)

I got a good reason

For taking the easy way out

Yes, I got a good reason

For taking the easy way out

She was a day tripper

One way driver, yeah

It took me so long to find out

But I found out

Well, I got a good reason

For taking the easy way out

Yes, I got a good reason

Girl, for taking the easy way out

She was a day tripper

One way ticket, yeah

It took me so

So long to find out but I found out

About this Song

Day Tripper by James Taylor is a cover of the iconic Beatles song that explores themes of excitement, spontaneity, and the allure of a fleeting romance. The song tells the story of a woman who promises more than she delivers, epitomizing the concept of a 'day tripper' – someone who is in it for the short-term thrill rather than a lasting commitment. Key themes include the contrast between promises and reality, and the tension between temporary pleasures and deeper connections. Particularly poignant moments in the song highlight the protagonist's realization of the superficial nature of his relationship with this 'day tripper', capturing a blend of excitement and disappointment.
