Better When I Do

I don't always have to take those back roads
 When it's quicker on a paved four-lane
 I don't have to have my hand out the window
 Ooh, just ridin' 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 holdin' 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 kissin' 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 kissin' 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 kissin' on you
 But it's better when I do
 Yeah yeah
 Oh, it's better when I do
