作曲:Daniel Lanois
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
This big old world sure got me running round
Heard a voice that told me settle down
With the moonlight as my guide
And with this feeling deep inside
I know now that I'm 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
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
Take it over there
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 the dusty trail I saw a vapor light
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
And I've been living too wrong
Cruel cruel world I'm gone
Cruel cruel world I'm gone
