Lyrics

Well, she said when she left that a change might do me good
So I took her advice and I did the best I could
I ve gone from this to that til I m nothing like I used to be
In fact, everyone says I m a totally different me

Got a new life but I still like the old one better
It s nice but it just won t ever quite be the same
I have everything a man would want but I can t forget her
Oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better

I pulled up my roots in the country and I moved uptown
Went from a slower pace to running with a faster crowd

I found a sweet young girl to replace all the love we knew

But I guess there s just some things you can t improve

Got a new life but I still like the old one better
It s nice but it just won t ever quite be the same
I have everything a man could want but I can t forget her
Oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better

I have everything a man would want but I can t forget her
Oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better

Oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better
Yeah, I got a new life but I still like the old one better
