| 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 |
