Runnin' for the Red Light (I Gotta Life)

"Runnin' for the Red Light (I Gotta Life)" is a song composed and written by Harry Vanda, George Young, Patti Russo, Sarah Durkee, and Meat Loaf. The song's chorus is lifted from INXS and Jimmy Barnes' cover of "Good Times" by Australian rock band the Easybeats, so Easybeats members Harry Vanda and George Young are credited as writers.[2]
