Cruel World
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
I've been living too fast
I've been living too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
This big old world sure got me running 'round
I heard a voice, it told me, "Settle down"
And with the moonlight as my guide
And with this feeling deep inside
I know now that I'm homeward bound
And as I wander through the pines, the whisperings, they tell
Of the many before me who tried and fell
Seeking fortune and ways
To get to glory days
Looking for a place in this old world
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
I've been living too fast
I've been living too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
Desert roads, desert plains
I have seen so much pain
Now I see into the eyes of a girl
No more, no more, cruel world
On a dusty trail I saw vapour light
Was it a mirage? Don't know, but it seemed right
I felt mission, I felt trust
I knew then that I must
Go to her, away from this cruel world
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
I've been living too fast
I've been living too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
I've been living too fast
I've been living too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
This big old world sure got me running 'round
I heard a voice, it told me, "Settle down"
And with the moonlight as my guide
And with this feeling deep inside
I know now that I'm homeward bound
And as I wander through the pines, the whisperings, they tell
Of the many before me who tried and fell
Seeking fortune and ways
To get to glory days
Looking for a place in this old world
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
I've been living too fast
I've been living too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
Desert roads, desert plains
I have seen so much pain
Now I see into the eyes of a girl
No more, no more, cruel world
On a dusty trail I saw vapour light
Was it a mirage? Don't know, but it seemed right
I felt mission, I felt trust
I knew then that I must
Go to her, away from this cruel world
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
I've been living too fast
I've been living too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
