"Runnin' for the Red Light (I Gotta Life)" is a song performed by 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] The song's full writing credits list Vanda and Young alongside Meat Loaf, Patti Russo and Sarah Durkee.

The CD contains the album version of the song and live versions of "Life Is a Lemon and I Want My Money Back", "Amnesty is Granted" and "Dead Ringer for Love".

On the 12-inch, "Amnesty is Granted" was replaced by "Midnight at the Lost and Found".
