Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The night was black, the roads were icy

Snow was fallin', drifts were high

I was weary from my driving

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 that bad luck

But I'm prayin' it's gone at last

[Verse 2]

Gone, gone at last (Gone at last)

Gone at last (Gone at last)

Gone at last (Gone at last)

Gone at last (Gone at last)

I've had a long streak of that bad luck (I've had a long, bad luck)

But I'm prayin' it's gone at last

[Verse 3]

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 your problem?

Tell me why you're so downcast

I've had a long streak of that bad luck (I've had a long, bad luck)

But I'm prayin' it's gone at last

[Verse 4]

Gone at last (Gone at last)

Gone at last (Gone at last)

Gone at last (Gone at last)

Gone at last (Gone at last)

I've had a long streak of that bad luck (I've had a long, bad luck)

But I'm prayin' it's gone at last

[Verse 5]

Once in a while, come outta nowhere

When you don't expect it, and you're unprepared

Somebody will come and lift you higher

And your burdens will be shared

[Verse 6]

Yes, I do believe, if I hadn't-a met you

I might still be sinkin' fast

I've had a long streak of that bad luck (I've had a long, bad luck)

But I'm prayin' it's gone at last

[Verse 7]

Gone, gone, gone at last (Gone at last, gone at last)

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, gone, gone, gone (Gone at last, gone at last)

Gone, gone, gone, gone (Gone at last)

Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone (Gone at last)

I've had a long streak of that bad luck (I've had a long, bad luck)

But I'm prayin' it's gone at last
