Willie Nelson - Cruel World Lyrics

Willie Nelson Lyrics

"Cruel World"
(from "Red Dead Redemption II" soundtrack)

Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm movin' on
I've been livin' too fast
And I've been livin' 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 feelin' 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 livin' too fast
And I've been livin' too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone

Desert roads, desert plain
I have seen so much pain
Now I see into the eyes of a girl
No more, no more, cruel world

Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel, cruel world, I'm movin' on
I've been livin' too fast
And I've been livin' too wrong
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
