Gone at Last Lyrics

The night was black,
The road was icy,
And the snow was fallin',
And the drifts were high.
And I was weary
From my drivin',
And I stopped to rest for a while.
I sat down,
At a truck stop,
I was thinkin' about my past.


I've had a long streak of bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last,
Gone, gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
I've had a long streak of that bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last.

I ain't dumb,
I've kicked around some,
I don't fall,
Too easily.
But that boy
Looked so dejected,
He just grabbed my sympathy.
Sweet little soul now,
What's your problem,
Tell me why you're so downcast.

I've had a long streak of bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last,
Gone, gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
I've had a long streak of that bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last.

Ev'ry once in a while,
From the middle of nowhere,
When you don't expect it,
And you're unprepared,
Somebody will come
And lift you higher,
And your burdens will be shared.
Yes I do believe
If I hadn't met you,
I might still be sinking fast.

I've had a long streak of bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last,
Gone, gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
I've had a long streak of that bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last.

Gone, gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
I've had a long streak of that bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last.
