Gone At Last
Jessy Dixon Singers Lyrics

The night was black, the roads were icy
The darkness of the night made it difficult to see and the roads were slippery with ice.

Snow was fallin', drifts were high
The snow was falling heavily and had piled up high, leading to difficulties in driving.

And I was weary from my driving
The long and difficult drive had left the singer feeling tired and worn out.

And I stopped to rest for awhile
The singer had to take a break from driving and pulled over to rest for some time.

I sat down at a truck stop
The singer found a place to rest at a truck stop along the way.

I was thinking about my past
While taking a break, the singer reminisces about his past experiences and struggles.

I've had a long streak of that bad luck
The singer has been facing a series of unfortunate events for a long time.

But I'm praying it's gone at last
Despite the tough times, the singer hopes and prays that his bad luck has finally come to an end.

Gone at last, gone at last
The singer repeats his hope that his bad luck has finally gone for good.

I ain't dumb
The singer knows better than to fall for anyone's tricks.

I kicked around some
The singer has had his share of struggles and challenges in life and knows how to handle them.

I don't fall too easily
The singer is not easily swayed or fooled by others.

But that boy looked so dejected
Despite his own resilience, the singer notices a young man who looks sad and upset.

He just grabbed my sympathy
The singer feels compassion towards the young man and wants to help him.

Sweet little soul now, what's your problem?
The singer addresses the young man and asks him what is bothering him.

Tell me why you're so downcast
The singer wants the young man to open up about his feelings and share his problems.

Once in a while from out of nowhere
Sometimes unexpected events or people can have a significant impact on our lives.

When you don't expect it, and you're unprepared
These moments often catch us off guard and we may not be ready for them.

Somebody will come and lift you higher
Someone else may come along and lift us up when we are feeling low.

And your burdens will be shared
They may even help us carry our burdens and make our struggles feel lighter.

Yes I do believe, if I hadn't met you
The singer acknowledges that meeting the young man has had a positive impact on his own life.

I might still be sinking fast
Without the young man's presence, the singer may still be struggling and feeling down.

But I pray it's gone at last
Despite his own challenges, the singer hopes and prays that the young man's problems will also go away.
