Sunday Driver
The Raconteurs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here comes the Sunday driver
Came to get my sister
We know he's such a liar
Can't believe I missed her
Ain't it right? Yeah
It's a fact
Sing my song
If I know he's gonna spin it
Can't believe she kissed him
He said, "Give me just a minute
I'm working on a system"
Ain't it right? Woo!
Ain't it wrong?
It's a fact, yeah
Sing my song
Woo!
Let's take a drive
Let's take our time
Paying no mind
To people behind
The road stretches wide
You're close by my side
Let's kill some time
Let's go for a drive
It ain't right, woo!
It ain't wrong
It's a fact
Sing my song
Woo!
Here comes the Sunday driver
The lyrics to The Raconteurs' song Sunday Driver tell a story of missing a loved one who is with someone that is unreliable and untrustworthy, describing the person as a "Sunday driver" who is a liar. The singer expresses disbelief that the loved one would choose to be with such a person, mentioning that they missed her. The lyrics acknowledge that while the situation may be unfair and wrong, it is a fact of life and the singer sings a song to express his feelings.
Throughout the song, the singer repeats the phrase "Ain't it right? Ain't it wrong? It's a fact, sing my song," which can be seen as a commentary on how life can feel both just and unjust at the same time, and sometimes it is difficult to reconcile the two. The singer seems to be grappling with conflicting emotions, wanting to move on and forget about the situation, but also feeling a deep sense of injustice and betrayal.
Overall, Sunday Driver is a bittersweet and introspective song that examines the complicated nature of human relationships and the messiness of emotions.

That analogue synth glissando effect on Jacks guitar is too good. What would it be? Fx pedal or routed through old keyboard??
@vgextent1920
Robbie pretty sure it’s a Mantic Flex Pro pedal that Third Man partnered with!
