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
