Gone at Last

The night was black, the roads were icy
Snow was falling, the drifts were high
And I was weary from my driving
And I stopped to rest for awhile
I sat down at a truck stop
I was thinking about my past
I've had a long streak of bad luck
But I'm praying it's gone at last

Yeah, gone at last, gone at last
Gone at last, gone at last
I've had a long streak of bad luck
But I'm praying it's gone at last

I ain't dumb, I 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 praying it's gone at last

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

Well, once in awhile from out of nowhere
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 had met you
I might still be sinking fast
I've had a long streak of bad luck
But I'm praying it's gone at last

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