the night was black the roads were icy
snow was falling 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 at last gone at last
gone at last gone at last
i’ve had a long streak of that bad luck
but i pray it’s gone at last
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 at last gone at last
gone at last gone at last
i’ve had a long streak of bad luck
but i pray 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 at last gone at last
gone at last gone at last
i’ve had a long streak of that bad luck
but i pray it’s gone at last
