[Chorus]
She was a day tripper girl, now
She give me a one-way ticket there, y'all
It took me so, so very long, huh
I found out, I found out
I found out, I found out, children, yeah

Took me out, yes she did
And then she teased me a little bit
She told me she would love me

But I'll take the easy way out, girl, huh
I said I got a good reason now, huh
I'm gonna take the easy way out, huh
