Old One Better

(Mark Nesler/Tony Martin)

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
