Intro: C5  
I was C5out on the highway
I was out on my feet
I was F5tired and hungry
I was C5late for the meet
I had a Eb5red Bb5sky behind C5me
I had the Eb5bad guys Bb5on my C5tail
I had a Eb5hundred Bb5different C5reasons
To Bb5keep me G5falling aAb5w---C5ay
I had a Eb5red Bb5sky behind C5me
With the Eb5stars coming Bb5into C5view
And the Eb5thought that Bb5kept me C5going
Was G5soon 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 away
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 F5remember that old saying
'bout how C5good tomorrow will be
But F5will I be lucky to see
With a G5red sky's lucky for me
Solo: Same chords as verses
In my Eb5dreams there Bb5is a C5picture
Of Eb5me in a Bb5big gold C5frame
And the Eb5people Bb5that I've C5never seen
Are F5pointing at my G5name
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 away
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
Red sky...
Red sky...
Red sky...
