Lyrics for Gone at Last (with Phoebe Snow & The Jessy Dixon Singers)
The night was black, the road was icy Snow was fallin' Drifts were high I was weary, for 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 Long gone at last (long gone at last) Gone at last (gone at last) Gone at last (gone at last) Gone at last (gone at last) I've had a long (I've had a long) streak of bad luck But I pray it's gone at last Woo, woo I ain't dumb I've kicked around some I don't fall too easily But that looked so dejected He just grabbed my sympathy Sweet little soul now What's your problem? Tell me why you're so down cast 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) Gone at last (gone at last) Gone at last (gone at last) I had a long streak of bad luck But I pray it's gone at last Woo, woo 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 (do believe) if I hadn't met you I might still be sinking fast I've had a long (I've had a long) streak of bad luck But I pray it's gone at last Gone-gone (gone at last) Gone at last (gone at last) Gone at last (gone at last) Gone at last (gone at last) I've got a long (I've got a long) streak of that bad luck But I pray it's gone at last Gone-gone (gone at last) Gone-gone-gone (gone at last) Gone-gone-gone-gone (gone at last) Gone-gone-gone-gone-gone I've had a long streak of bad luck But I pray it's gone at last Woo, woo
