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
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
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
Dusty trail saw a vapor light
Was it mirage? I don't know but it seemed right
I felt vision(?) I felt trust
I knew that then I must
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
