Donna Fargo — Gone at Last lyrics

Lyrics

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 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
