(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
