Cruel cruel world must I go on
Cruel cruel world I'm movin on
I've been living too fast
I've been living too wrong
Cruel cruel world I'm gone
Куплет
This big ol' world sure got me runnin' round
I heard a voice that said just settle down
And with the moonlight as my guide
And with this feeling deep inside
I know now that I am homeward bound
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
Припев
Cruel cruel world must I go on
Cruel cruel world I'm movin on
I've been living too fast
I've been living too wrong
Cruel cruel world I'm gone
Куплет 2
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
Dusty trail saw a vapor light
Was it mirage? Don't know but it seemed right
I felt mission I felt trust
I knew that then I must
Go to her, away from this cruel world
Припев
Cruel cruel world must I go on
Cruel cruel world I'm movin on
I've been living too fast
I've been living too wrong
Cruel cruel world I'm gone
