Gone At Last

(앨범: Shame On Me - 1977)

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
You know I've had a long streak of that bad luck
But I pray it's gone at last

Gone at last, gone at last
Gone at last, gone at last
You know I had a long streak of bad luck
But I pray it's gone at last

Oo, oo, oo...
Now I ain't dumb
I kicked around some
I don't fall too easily
But this boy came to me when I was troubled
And he gave me sympathy
"Sweet little girl," he said, "What's your problem?
Tell me why you're so downcast?"
I said, "I've had a long streak of bad luck
But I pray it's gone at last"

Gone at last, gone at last
Gone at last, gone at last
I said I had a long streak of bad luck
But I pray it's gone at last

Once in a while from out of nowhere
You don't expect it and you're unprepared
Somebody will come and lift you higher
And your burden will be shared
I do believe if I hadn't met him
I might still be sinking fast
You know I've had a long streak of bad luck
But I pray it's gone at last

Gone at last, gone at last
Gone at last, gone at last
I said I had a long streak of bad luck
But I pray it's gone at last

Gone at last, gone at last
Gone at last, gone at last
I said I had a long streak of bad luck
But I pray it's gone at last
