Status Quo

I was out on the highway I was out on my feet
I was flying 'bout a hundred I was late for the meet

Chorus
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
Is 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 under coal black skies

Repeat chorus

Oh I remember that old saying about how good tomorrow will be
But will I be lucky to see if 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

Repeat chorus

I had a red sky behind me with the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Is soon I'm gonna make it with you

Red sky red sky red sky
