"A Better Man" is a song by American country music artist Clint Black.
[2] The success of "A Better Man," along with the follow-up "Killin' Time," were instrumental in Black winning the Country Music Association's Horizon Award in 1989.
[3] The song is a reflection on a relationship co-writer Black had recently ended with a girlfriend of seven years.
[4] This was Clint Black's first music video; it was directed by Bill Young and premiered in early 1989.
Much of the video is of Black driving down a little-used country road in a late-1950s Ford F-100 pickup truck, reflecting on his now-failed relationship.
