Well, you told me when we met 

Your love would last forevermore

And it took me by surprise 

When you up and walked out the door

Been suffering through this dry spell 

With no relief in sight

Well, you're sowing oats with another girl

And raising cane all night

The only way I'll make it through this drought

Is by breaking new ground


Yeah, the only thing you left

When you left me was no choice

Gonna plant my love in another field

With no rocks beneath the soil

It's high time I was leaving this old town

Start breaking new ground


Well, I'm finding out that I can live without you on my side

The grass is getting greener slowly as the days go by

Somewhere I'll find someone to help me tear down these old walls

Fill my life on a solid love, I'll rise above it all

I won't let your memory get me down

I'm breaking new ground


Yeah, the only thing you left

When you left me was no choice

Gonna plant my love in another field

With no rocks beneath the soil

The only way a new life can be found 

Is by breaking new ground


Yeah, the only thing you left

When you left me was no choice

Gonna plant my love in another field

With no rocks beneath the soil

And it's high time luck was a'leaving this old town

And start breaking new ground
