      Cm
I was out on the highway
I was out on my feet
       Fm
I was tired and hungry
      Cm
I was late for the meet

Chorus:
         D#  A#   Cm
I had a red sky behind me
           D#      A#    Cm
I had the bad guys on my tail
         D#      A#       Cm
I had a hundred different reasons
    A#      G       G# Cm
To keep me falling away
        D#   A#   Cm
I had a red sky behind me
          D#          A#   Cm
With the stars coming into view
         D#           A#     Cm
And the thought that kept me going
     G
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

Chorus

          Fm
Well I remember that old saying
          Cm
'bout how good tomorrow will be
    Fm
But will I be lucky to see
        G
With a red sky's lucky for me

       D#          A#    Cm
In my dreams there is a picture
    D#     A#        Cm
Of me in a big gold frame
        D#      A#       Cm
And the people that I've never seen
     Fm             G
Are pointing at my name

Chorus

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...
