Day Tripper Lyrics

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 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 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 long, well you know that I found out.
When I found out, when I found out.

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 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 long to find out but I found out.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
