Miles Away (Live)

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

Time to Rock! (Live)
04:52
|

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

Breakin' Free (Live)
05:46
|

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'm in love with a lady
And I know
The lady's in love with me
And she knows
That I'll always be there
That's why she's a-willin'
And ready
But now and then
Every once in a while
Something inside of me
Maybe inside of her
Have you ever had
One of those days
When it all is going wrong
And it just can't seem
To get along but through it all You know You're gonna make it
Call it true love
Call it not meant to be
You can call it anything at all
Ya see
Call it what you want
It's all the same to me
Music means alot to me
Like love I make it when I can
All I am is all I'll ever be
And that's just a boy from Texarkana
But now and then
All but once in a while
They start treatin' me like
Some kinda superstar
Need I mention
At the end of the day
What matters most of all
It's not where you're at
But where you're comin' from
When all is said and done
You can call it
Heavy metal, hard-core, punk, Pop, or thrash
You can call it anything
It don't matter to me
Call it what you want
It's all music to me
Call it communism, call it free
Some call the ocean
What some call the sea
Call it what you want
It doesn't change
A thing for me, not a thing
Baby's lyin' in a cradle
Universe is all within its reach
Wearin' rags or mink and sable
Needs a guiding hand
Or it's out on the street
Now, momma's out
She's never at home
Daddy's takin' care of business
He's out on the road
It's rainin' cats and dogs
But the child within us all
Must face the storm
Call it individuality
Some call it fate, others reality
Call it what you want
It don't matter to me
Call it communism, call it free
Some call the ocean
What some call the sea
Call it what you want
It doesn't change a thing for me
Not a thing

I'm feelin' so much better
But not quite feelin' fine
Now, I've got to get my shit together
Still little bit closer to the line
But I love those lazy days and crazy nights
It's my way, it's my life
I love those lazy days and crazy nights
I'm doin' fine right here on borrowed time
Needless for you to worry
No use in losin' sleep
Now, I really do appreciate it
For all, all your concern for me
But I love those lazy days and crazy nights
It's my way, it's my life
I love those lazy days and crazy nights
I'm doin' fine right here on borrowed time
Ridin' through stormy weather
So high I can't look down
Still I've got to get it together
'Cause I'm lost in the lost and found
But I love those lazy days and crazy nights
Now, it's my way, it's my life
I love those lazy days and crazy nights
I love those lazy days and crazy nights
Lazy days and crazy nights
Give it to me, lazy days and crazy nights
Can't do without those lazy days and crazy nights
Now, I'm doin' fine right here on borrowed t-t-t-time

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

Edison's Medicine (Live)

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.

S.O.S. (Too Bad)

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
