Gone At Last Lyrics

(Paul Simon)

(Bill)
The night was black the roads were icy
Snow was fallin', drifts were high
And I was weary from my drivin'
So I stopped to rest for a while.

I sat down at a truck stop
I was thinkin' about my past
I've had a long streak of a 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've had a long streak of a bad luck
But I pray it's gone at last.

(Mary Lou)
Well, I ain't dumb, I kicked around some
I have thought too easily
But that boy looked so seductive
He just grabbed my sympathy.

Sweet little woman what's your problem?
Tell me why you're so down cast
I've had a long streak of a 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've had a long streak of a bad luck
But I pray it's gone at last.

(Bill)
Once in awhile from out of nowhere
At least expected and we ran to pair
Somebody will come and lift you higher
And your burdens will be shared.

(Mary Lou)
I do believe if I hadn't met you
I might still be sinking fast
I've had a long streak of a bad luck
But I pray it's gone at last.

(Both)
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've had a long streak of a bad luck
But I pray it's gone at last.

But I pray it's gone at last.
