Looking for feedback

This is a song I wrote a few years ago. I've played it live at open mic's and it's been well received. I've never been that happy with it. It is too repetitive. I belong to a songwriting forum and posted it there looking for feedback. They basically told me what I already knew. To simple and repetitive. Let me know what you think of the new version compared to the old version.

This is the updated version:

This is the original:

 
I went back to the original version and listened again. Most definitely. The second one is better. I think the mood it sets works better with the lyrics. As far as repetitive. Yeah. Probably. But then we’ve all heard songs that make top 40 that didn’t have more than 10 different words in the entire song.
 
Thank you everyone. You have reaffirmed what I thought. I like the acoustic version best as well. It was an interesting exercise. A friend told me about the songwriter forum and suggested I post there. It was painful. They pick apart your songs and are very critical. I don't mind that. It never hurts to look at something in a different light. I'm going to keep the acoustic version. I also really like the music I came up with for the rock version so it will be recycled with new lyrics. As I said it never hurts to look at things in a new light. You never know what you'll come up with.
 
For sure keep the guitar track and add different lyrics. Guitar was great. Lyrics just went better with the acoustic.
