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
