Backstory:

Red Income was born in the back alleys of downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The quartet, made up of childhood friends, Johnny ‘Scars’ McCartney (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Mark ‘Shifty’ Mitchell (lead guitar, backing vocals), Pete ‘Thunder’ Hammond (drums), and Stan ‘Lucky’ Lewis (bass), were inseparable from a young age. They started playing in their parents’ garages, honing their skills before stepping foot into local pubs and clubs. A shared love for grunge and southern rock led them to create a sound that was an extraordinary fusion of both genres. Their band name, Red Income, was derived from the hardships they faced as struggling musicians, a nod to the red ink that often marked their financial records.

Title:

“Barefoot in the Rain”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Dm Am
She walks barefoot in the rain,
C G
Eyes full of sorrow, heart full of pain.
Dm Am
Lost in the city lights,
C G
Praying for peace in the dead of the night.

(Chorus)
F C
She’s barefoot in the rain,
G Am
Looking for shelter from her pain.
F C
She’s barefoot, but she’s not alone,
G Am
In her heart, she’s found her home.

(Verse 2)
Dm Am
She’s a warrior, fighting her fears,
C G
Chasing her dreams through the falling tears.
Dm Am
Dancing in the midnight glow,
C G
Her spirit, like the river, continues to flow.

(Repeat Chorus)
(Outro)
Dm Am
Barefoot in the rain,
C G
She’s found her peace, she’s broken her chain.
