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 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 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
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 people that I've never seen
Are pointing at my name
