Blackfoot - Left Turn On A Red Light

[Intro]

Dm C Bb C Dm
Dm C Bb C Dm

[Verse]

Dm C
It’s nine o’clock at this old station
Bb C Dm
And my silver linin’ ride is right on time
C
And as I buy myself a one-way ticket
Bb C Dm
For somewhere else on down the line
C
And I see that on their faces
Bb C Dm
Of a people that will never come home
C
And when I stare into the mirror, mama
Bb C Dm
See myself all alone

[Chorus]

G Dm
And did you ever stop to wonder
G F C Dm
About the times that she laid by your side
G
When you know that I was right
C
And you finally realize
Bb C Dm
You took a left turn on a red light

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

Dm C
Sun shines down on the desert
Bb C Dm
And it seems to make my life a haze
C
And I dream of my childhood sweetheart
Bb C Dm
And the freedom that I had in those days
C
When I wake from all my dreamin’
Bb C Dm
Will this boxcar always be my lonely home, yeah
Dm
Well I don’t know where I am
C
And I really don’t give a damn
Bb C Dm
This crazy life of mine will soon be gone

[Chorus 2]

G Dm
And did you ever stop to wonder
G F C Dm
About the times that she laid by your side
G
When you know that I was right
C
And you finally realize
Bb C Dm
You took a left turn on a red light

[Verse 3]

Dm C
Well it’s nine o’clock at this old station
Bb C Dm
Once again my ride is right on time
C
And as I buy myself another ticket, Lord
Bb C Dm
For somewhere else on down the line
C
Well I’ll always be a rambler
Bb C Dm
Well the ones I love always keep tellin’ me
V
You stare too long in the mirror, son
Bb C Dm
Someday you’ll be too blind to see

[Chorus 3]

G Dm
And now I can stop my wonderin’
G F C Dm
About the times that she laid by my side
G
Now I know that I was right
C
And I finally realize
Bb C G F Bb C Dm
I took a left turn on a red light
