I was out on the highway

I was out on my feet

I was tired and hungry

I was late for the meet

I had a red sky behind me

I had the bad guys on my tail

I had a hundred different reasons

To keep me falling awake

I had a red sky behind me

With the stars coming into view

And the thought that kept me going

Was soon I'm gonna make it with you

I had the desert on both sides now

I had the lights in my eyes

Of the town I remember

Up ahead in the cold black sky

I had a red sky behind me

I had the bad guys on my tail

I had a hundred different reasons

To keep me falling awake

I had a red sky behind me

With the stars coming into view

And the thought that kept me going

Was soon I'm gonna make it with you

Well I remember that old saying 'bout how good tomorrow will be

But will I be lucky to see with a red sky's lucky for me

In my dreams there is a picture of me in a big gold frame

And the poeple that I've never seen are pointing at my name

I had a red sky behind me

I had the bad guys on my tail

I had a hundred different reasons

To keep me falling awake

I had a red sky behind me

With the stars coming into view

And the thought that kept me going

Was soon I'm gonna make it with you

I had a red sky behind me

With the stars coming into view

And the thought that kept me going

Was soon I'm gonna make it with you
