Gone at Last - Paul Simon
The night was black 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
I've had a long streak of that bad luck
But I'm praying it's gone at last
Gone 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
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'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
Gone gone at last gone at last
Gone at last gone at last
I've had a long streak of bad luck
But I'm prayin' 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
Gone gone 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
I've had a long streak of that bad luck
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last
