Cruel, Cruel World lyrics

[Chorus]

Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?

Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

And I've been living too wrong

Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone

[Verse 1]

This big ol' world sure got me running '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

[Chorus]

Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?

Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

And I've been living too wrong

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

[Chorus]

Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?

Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

And I've been living too wrong

Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone

[Verse 3]

Dusty trail, saw vapor light

Was it a mirage? I don't know, but it seemed right

I felt mission, I felt trust

I knew then that I must

Must go to her from this cruel world

[Chorus]

Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?

Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

And I've been living too wrong

Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone

[Chorus]

Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?

Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

And I've been living too wrong

Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone

Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
