Well, you told me when we met
Your love would last forevermore
And it took me by surprise
When you up and walked right 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 leavin' this old town
Start breaking new ground

Well, I'm findin' 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
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 leavin' this old town
And start breaking new ground
