I've been down a highway,
A lonesome two-lane highway,
Drivin' hard all the miles.
I've been thinkin' about you;
Truth is ringing so true,
Pictures clear in the light.
I've been runnin' 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're hanging on 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,
You just can't build a better love
Than what we had.
Babe, I took so much for granted,
And I've had so many doubts;
And I'm gonna hold onto this good thing
'Cause we've built 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.
