Sunday
Mexican Slum Rats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I had it on the side of the road
Sunday, take me home!
Sunday can't come any sooner
I think I had it on the side of the road
Surrounding valleys, its where I'll go
And maybe Sunday I guess I'll see you
Oh please don't be so mad at me
Love
The lyrics in Mexican Slum Rats's song Sunday represent a longing for a better life and a desire to escape the struggles of the present. The repetition of "Sunday can't come any sooner" suggests a sense of anticipation and hope, as if Sunday is a chance for something new and better. The line "I think I had it on the side of the road" adds a touch of desperation or uncertainty, as if the singer has hit a low point and is grasping for any kind of change.
The reference to "Surrounding valleys" implies a longing for nature and escape from the confines of urban life. When the singer mentions "maybe Sunday I guess I'll see you", it seems as if they are addressing someone specifically, but then they immediately add "I never know cause this life has passed me by". This suggests a sense of disillusionment and confusion about where they stand in their relationships and their life in general.

Sunday can't come any sooner
I eagerly await the arrival of Sunday
I think I had it on the side of the road
I may have lost something valuable or significant while stranded on the side of the road
Sunday, take me home!
I long to return to a place of comfort and familiarity on Sunday
Surrounding valleys, its where I'll go
I plan to seek refuge in the peaceful and scenic surroundings of the nearby valleys
And maybe Sunday I guess I'll see you
If fate allows, I may see you on Sunday
I never know cause this life has passed me by
I am uncertain of what the future holds because time seems to have slipped away from me
Oh please don't be so mad at me
I hope that you do not harbor any negative feelings towards me
Love
The song concludes with a simple declaration of affection
