I don’t always have to take those backroads When it’s quicker on a paved four-lane I don’t have to have my hand out the window Ooh, just riding that way I don’t always have to crack me a cold one At 5 o’clock when the work day ends And girl, I don’t have to be holding you When the sun sets
But it’s better when I do Have you sitting right next to me, girl When you’re in it, it’s a better view Life’s more than a little sweeter With something so pretty to hold onto Girl, if I had it my way You’d be right beside me From Friday to Friday I don’t have to end off my days wrapped up kissing on you But it’s better when I do
I don’t have to turn my hat round backwards When the ball game’s on the line And I don’t have to drink the first cup of coffee On the porch outside I don’t have to speed into those hard turns Ain’t gotta play with that little white line Just so you lean over a little bit closer Onto my side
But it’s better when I do Have you sitting right next to me, girl When you’re in it, it’s a better view Life’s more than a little sweeter With something so pretty to hold onto Girl, if I had it my way You’d be right beside me From Friday to Friday I don’t have to end off my days wrapped up kissing on you But it’s better when I do
Girl, it’s better when I do It’s better when I do have you Hanging on my arm Wish every day could end And every day could start with you Just like this And I don’t always get to
But it’s better when I do Have you sitting right next to me, girl When you’re in it, it’s a better view Life’s more than a little sweeter With something so pretty to hold onto Girl, if I had it my way You’d be right beside me From Friday to Friday I don’t have to end off my days wrapped up kissing on you But it’s better when I do
