This song is about drugs like Paul McCartney said. The Beatles rule!

But this song is most definitely, at least partially,
about drugs.

No less than John Lennon said so, and that's good enough
for me, but you may know something he didn't.

Also, if you do just a wee bit more research, you will find
that George and John were "dosed" by their dentist in
late 1964.

I agree with the interpretaion regarding hookers. As per John and Paul in past interviews. They had alot of fastlove, the one way ticket refers to a German Hookers Health card which was required for registered women in said trade. These ladies of the night had the usual reason for taking the easy way out. " got a good reason for taking the easy way out". It beats working or studying.

"Tried to please her , she only played one night stands", it is fooish get emotionally involved with fallen women. But lonely fools they were. The Beatles were young and talented at times fueled by drugs, lust, love,and loneliness- all that Rock and Roll has to offer- and ah yes evetually fame.

I think with the info I gathered it would be about hookers but I'm not sure about German ones.

wow the meaning of the song is right in the name. what else is there to say. its about acid. one night stand is an acid trip.

Others think this song is about hookers. that is a definite possibility. the interpretation I came up with, which may or may not be correct is that the author of the song spends a day with a girl. being a big rock star, he expects to "get some". she teases him and gets him aroused, but doesn't "finish the job", thus the line "she's a big tease, she took me half the way there". and by "it took me soooooo long to find out", it means he "wasted" the entire day with her only to find out he wasn't going to "get any". and the "plays one night stands" line could mean that she "plays" like they are going to have a one night stand but then doesn't come through in the end. since she acted like she was going to "go all the way" and then it becomes clear she is not going to, he feels entitled to "take the easy way out" and ditch her.

Clearly, the song is humorous explanation or 'excuse' for self-abuse (i.e., masturbation): "[I] Got a good reason for taking the easy way out." The good reason? She teased him and took him "only half the way there".

this explanation comes from "the mammoth book of the beatles": "the more streetwise of the beatles' audience would have made the connection between acid trips and the title phrase, and understood "sunday driver" to be a contemptuous reference to a dabbler. however, one shouldnt go overboard over the drug references, the similarities of the phrase "big teaser" to "prick teaser", the snaking guitar riff, the quasi-orgasmic build up of the instrumental break or the general sinewy r&b nature of day tripper."

Paul McCartney said in an interview that this song was about pot, not acid.
