Cruel World Lyrics
[Chorus]
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm movin’ on
I've been livin' too fast
I’ve been livin' too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
[Verse 1]
This big old world sure got me runnin' 'round
Heard a voice, it told me "Settle down"
With the moonlight as my guide
And this feelin' 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
[Chorus]
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm movin' on
I’ve been livin’ too fast
I've been livin’ too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
(Take it away)
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm movin’ on
I've been livin' too fast
I’ve been livin' too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
[Verse 1]
This big old world sure got me runnin' 'round
Heard a voice, it told me "Settle down"
With the moonlight as my guide
And this feelin' 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
[Chorus]
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm movin' on
I’ve been livin’ too fast
I've been livin’ too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
(Take it away)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 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
On a dusty trail, I saw vapor 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
[Chorus]
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm movin’ on
I've been livin' too fast
I've been livin' too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
[Verse 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
On a dusty trail, I saw vapor 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
[Chorus]
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm movin’ on
I've been livin' too fast
I've been livin' too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
