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