Paul Simon — Gone at Last Original Demo

Oooooooh... Oooooh... Oooooooh... Oooooh... The night was black, the roads were icy Snow was fallin' and the drifts were high And I was weary, sick from 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 at last (gone at last) Gone at last (gone at last) 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 Oooooooh... Oooooh... Oooooooh... Oooooh... Honey, I ain't dumb I kicked around some I don't fall too easily But that poor boy looked so dejected He just grabbed my sympathy Sweet little soul (says I), 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) 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 Oooooooh... Oooooh... Oooooooh... Oooooh... Once in a while in the middle 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 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 at last (gone at last) Gone at last (gone at last) Gone at last (gone at last) Gone, 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 at last (gone at last) Gone at last (gone at last) 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 Oooooooh... Oooooh... Oooooooh... Oooooh...
