Lyrics

Well, the night was black, the roads were icy
Snow was fallin', 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, 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, long streak of bad luck
But I'm praying it's gone at last

I ain't dumb
I've kicked around some
I don't fall too easily
But that girl looked so dejected
She just grabbed my sympathy
I said, sweet little soul, what's your problem?
Tell me why you're so downcast
I've had a long, long streak of bad luck
But I'm praying it's gone at last

[CHORUS]

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 burden will be shared
Now I believe, if I hadn't met you
I might still be sinking fast
I've had a long, long streak of that bad luck
But I'm praying it's gone at last

[CHORUS]
