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 this feeling deep inside
I know now that I'm homeward bound
As I wonder through the pines, the whispers 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 road, desert plain
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 a vapour lie
Was it 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
