Gone At Last Lyrics - The Essential Paul Simon - Paul Simon

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 

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 had a long streak of that bad luck 

But I'm prayin' it's gone at last 

00, oo, oo, oo, oo

I ain't dumb 

I 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 had a long streak of that bad luck 

But I'm prayin' it's gone at last 

00, oo, oo, oo, oo

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 had a long streak of that bad luck 

But I'm prayin' it's gone at last 

Gone, gone, gone gone gone gone 

Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone 

I had a long streak of that bad luck 

But I'm prayin' it's gone at last
