Such a heavy price to pay All the time that I spend missing home And I try not to complain But sometimes It won’t leave me alone And I think I know myself Better than anyone else Cuz I’m me I oughta know What I want what I need What’s inside of me Maybe something that I took To get out of my head Or took for the thrill The way I dress, the way that I look Or the way that I pay the bills Cuz you’re Miles Away, Miles Away How could you be so wrong Cuz you’re Miles Away, Miles Away How could you know the score All eyes on the stage All the glitter and glow Move to the rhythm While striking a pose Music and melody And words to a poem You think that you know me You’re not even close Though I’m livin’ out my dream Wasn’t long til I figured it out Nothing ever comes for free Even here on the merry go round So you wanna take a ride Rollin’ and livin’ the life Cuz you think I got it made Well in case you don’t know My friend died today And It’s tearin me apart If I knew what to say Don’t know where to start I reach down in my heart And with paper and pen Put it in a song Cuz you’re Miles Away, Miles Away How could you be so wrong Cuz you’re Miles Away, Miles Away How could you know the score All eyes on the stage All the glitter and glow Move to the rhythm While striking a pose Music and melody And words to a poem You think that you know me You’re not even close The pages have burned But they’re written in stone Now what will become of us Nobody knows And the wheel keeps on turning I rise and I fall And I try to get back But I’m lost in it all And I look all around And I see that’s its gone You’re miles away, miles away Ya you’re miles away Ya you’re miles away Miles away, ya you’re miles away

Changes Time's making changes in my life 
Rearranging, can't seem to stop The hands of time
 I remember, I was so young 
I was much too young to see 
Now I'm older, growing older
 And I see things differently 
Oh, can't you see It's changing you and me Times makin' changes Times makin' changes in my life 
Times rearranging Changing you and me Faces Strange faces cloud my mind
 Empty traces make it hard for me to find 
Somewhere in the distance 
Is there someone who awaits
 For that moment I am taken
 Over by the hands of fate 
Can't you see The world is changing me Times makin' changes Times makin' changes in my life
 Times rearranging Changing you and me Nothing ever stays the same
 It's always gonna change 
I'm on my way, yeah yeah, yeah Changes Times makin' changes in my life Rearranging, always changing 
Can't seem to stop the hands of time
 Can't you see?
 It's changing everything Times makin' changes Times makin' changes in my life Times rearranging Changing you and me
 Oh all these changes

Now I… I don’t wanna hurt no one ‘Cause I’m the kinda guy like to have my fun I can’t believe half of what I see Sometimes I need a break from this harsh reality Does life get complicated? Shit! You can bet your ass Yet such a gas Like a locomotive Comin’ hard and fast I do the best that I know how And this ole world keeps turnin’ round (…and round) And things keep changin’ by the hour Tick-Tock goes the clock Right now it’s time to rock It’s time to rock Let it go Take it to the top Never gonna stop It’s time to rock……and roll Some fools Try and lie and hide behind the truth Will never be denied Puttin’ on a show With all their silver and gold What do you want Is what I really wanna know Do I get aggravated? Shit! I’m already mad Pissed me off So much is overrated I’ll be come in dead last I do the best that I know how And this ole world keeps turnin’ round (and round…) And things keep changin’ by the hour Tick-Tock goes the clock Right now it’s time to rock Take it to the top A givin’ all I got Never gonna stop It’s time to rock to the top Chop and drop Over exaggerated In your house of glass This too shall pass Won’t be the first time Won’t be the last I do the best that I know how And this ole world keeps spinning round (…and round) And things keep changin’ by the hour Tick-Tock goes the clock Doin’ the best that I know how And this ole world keeps twistin’ round (and round and round) And things keep changin’ by the hour Tick-tock goes the clock Tick-tock goes the clock Right now, right now, right now It’s time to rock Let it go Gotta let it go It’s time to rock

I’ve had all I can take The lyin’ to my face I’m tired of the abuse All the excuses that you’ve made There’ll be no compromise I’ve finally realized It’s time to cut the noose I’m bustin’ loose And start livin’ my life I don’t care what you say You’d better get out of my way I’m tired of wastin’ my time Now I’m breakin’ free I always knew the day would come Where everything’s coming undone Now I’ve made up my mind I’m breakin free I’m done with swallowing my pride And the truth being denied You know it makes me sick How you’re so quick to always criticize You never find fault in yourself You’re always blaming someone else When you know that it’s you And it’s true that were through It’s just a livin’ hell I don’t care what you say You’d better get out of my way I’m tired of wastin’ my time Now I’m breakin’ free I always knew the day would come Where everything’s coming undone Now I’ve made up my mind I’m breakin’ free Every time I start feelin’ down I know it’s time that I turn this around Every time I start thinkin’ what went wrong I can’t believe that it went so bad All the times that you drove me mad I can’t believe that I stayed With you so long I don’t care what you say You’d better get out of my way I’m tired of wastin’ my time Now I’m breakin’ free I always knew the day would come Where everything’s coming undone Now I’ve made up my mind I’m breakin’ free I’m breakin’ free

I can’t believe all this bullshit today Too many lives being taken away Sick and unhappy behind a smile Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile What’s to blame? Lets get real Some find the answer in Cold Blue Steel Nobody Wins such a shame it’s true That ain’t no good for me or you Without compassion solutions are sought Makin’ decisions like they’ve been store bought Evil intentions refuse to respect Pullin’ the trigger to serve and protect What’s to blame? Lets get real Some find the answer in Cold Blue Steel Nobody Wins such a shame it’s true That ain’t no good for me or you For me or you Everybody, its down to me or you Lets get real, cold blue steel Lets get real, cold blue steel What’s to blame, cold blue steel Let’s get Real! Ya”ll politicians be it left or right Meet in the middle and give up the fight You’ve been elected to find common ground So we the people feel safe and sound What’s to blame? Lets get real Some find the answer in Cold Blue Steel Nobody Wins such a shame it’s true That ain’t no good for me or you Just Like Ronnie I do agree Why don’t we dump ‘em to the bottom of the sea Whats to blame? Lets get real Some find the answer in Cold Blue Steel

You're guilty of crime in the first degree, Second and third as well. My jury finds you'll be serving your time When you go straight to hell. 'Cause he was Lord of the Lightning, Though "socially frightening", But never out to sell. Their nickels and pence Meant more than did sense, And not the sensible thing. Nor did the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy, you was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. All along, world was wrong, you was right. All that he saw, all he conceived, They just could not believe. Steinmetz and Twain were friends that remained, Along with number three. He was electromagnetic, completely kinetic, "New Wizard of the West." But they swindled and whined that he wasn't our kind, And said Edison knew best. He was the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy, you was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. Said you was outta your mind! You took a shot and it did you in. Edison's medicine. You played your cards, but you couldn't win. Edison's medicine. I spent twelve years of hard time, More like the best years of my life. Never heard or read a single word About "the man" and his "wicked mind." They'll sell you on Marconi. Familiar, but a phony. Story goes they sold their souls And swore that you'd never know. About the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy, you was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. Swore you was outta your mind! You took a shot and it did you in. Edison's medicine. You played your cards, but you couldn't win. Edison's medicine. You took a shot and it did you in. Edison's medicine. You played your cards, but you couldn't win. Edison's medicine.

Stagecoach lady, hourglass body Makin’ things glow in the night Well she would if should could And she’d be good if she would Only be a lover she’d be out tonight Cause I’m a bad A lonely school boy And I’m a rat But it’s too bad Can’t get me none of that Salt Lake City, salt likin’ bitties Bogies hun, stinkin’ of gin Said my daddy was hard His face was pretty scarred From kickin’ ass & playing poker to win Cause I’m a bad A lonely school boy And I’m a rat And it’s too bad Can’t get me none of that Said its too bad Too bad Can’t get me none of that Loose old lady My mama Katie Chivalry was born at her feet I said she shoulda thought twice When Pa shot his dice And that’s what put my daddy to sleep Cause I’m a bad Lonely school boy And I’m a rat Too bad Can’t get me none of that

about

TESLA is a notorious band for one thing; being a high-energy, 100% live, kick-ass rock and roll band in concert! FULL THROTTLE LIVE captures this essence from a stop at the Sturgis Bike rally in the year 2022 at the infamous saloon that hosts many motorcycle rock and roll parties, and this inspired the band to put on even more of a heavy show. Independently recorded, mixed, and produced by guitarist Frank Hannon and bassist Brian Wheat, this new live album truly captures TESLA in pure honest form and even dives deeper into their roots by recording a live version of the 1974 Aerosmith classic “SOS Too Bad” as a bonus track. The heavier song choices range from “Miles Away!” to more recent hard releases like “Time to Rock!” and “Cold Blue Steel”. But don’t worry there are old TESLA classics captured too like “Changes” and “Lazy Days, Crazy Nights” all recorded as TESLA is best..100% FULL THROTTLE LIVE!

“MILES AWAY” is the lead-off single release from TESLA’s new live album FULL THROTTLE LIVE! The guys chose to put this song out first because it represents TESLA and the new live album’s harder heavier sound. “MILES AWAY” is a fan favorite in concert with its heavy 6/8 rolling groove and blistering guitar solo. This is also an ironic song choice because the song lyrics are written about being a “rock star” on the road away from reality and missing home. Check out TESLA’s new live album FULL THROTTLE LIVE! You won’t be let down and MILES AWAY will take you there.
