This is the version of Red Dead Redemption 2’s “Cruel World” that appears in Epilogue pt. I as John leaves Pronghorn Ranch. The lyrics in relation to John’s story reflect his decision to leave his world of gunslinging in an attempt to be a responsible family man. This is one of several moments in the game where the music becomes the centerpiece of the gameplay, one of the better cinematic moments in Red Dead Redemption 2.

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

[Guitar Solo]

[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

[Guitar Solo]

[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

[Guitar Solo]

[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
[Outro]
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
