(M. Barnes/J. Browne/D. Jarvis)
I`ve been down a highway
A lonesome, two-lane highway
Driving hard all night
I`ve been thinking about you
The truth is ringing so true
The picture`s clearer in the light
I`ve been running from a good thing
It`s been right here in my hands
You know you can`t build a better love
Than what we had
You can climb a mountain
Way up on a mountain
Till you hang along thin air
You can cross the river
But the other side, it ain`t no greener
Once you`re standing there
See, I`ve been running from a good thing
It`s been right here in my hands
You know you can`t build a better love
Than what we had
Babe, I took so much for granted
And I`ve had so many doubts
But I`m gonna hold on to this good thing, baby
`Cause we`ve build the kind of love no one can tear down
You know you can`t build a better love
You just can`t build a better love
No, you can`t build a better love
Than what we had
Than what we had
You just can`t
You just can`t
Ain`t no better love
