[00:11.61] If it seems like I've been lost in let's remember
[00:17.17] If you think I'm feeling older and missing my younger days
[00:20.30]
[00:21.42] Oh, then you should have known me much better
[00:24.84] Cause my past is something that never
[00:27.09] Got in my way
[00:30.08] Oh... No
[00:31.52]
[00:32.71] Still I would not be here now if I never had the hunger
[00:36.33]
[00:38.33] And I'm not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends
[00:42.01]
[00:42.69] Oh... Cause I never felt the desire
[00:44.94] Till their music set me on fire
[00:48.49] And then I was saved, yeah...
[00:51.99]
[00:53.42] That's why I'm keeping the faith
[00:57.04] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...Keeping the faith
[01:00.09]
[01:04.71] We wore matador boots only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
[01:10.26] Iridescent socks with the same color shirt and a tight pair of chinos
[01:13.78]
[01:15.37] Oh... I put on my shark skin jacket
[01:17.87] You know the kind with the velvet collar
[01:20.30] And ditty-bop shades
[01:22.99] Oh yeah...
[01:24.49]
[01:26.23] I took a fresh pack of Luckies and a mint called Sen-Sen
[01:28.46]
[01:31.64] My old man's Trojans and his Old Spice after shave
[01:35.32]
[01:36.01] Oh... Combed my hair in a pompadour
[01:38.09]
[01:39.90] Like the rest of the Romeos wore
[01:41.71] A permanent wave, Yeah...
[01:46.70] We were keeping the faith
[01:50.63] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Keeping the faith
[01:53.69]
[01:57.50] You can get just so much from a good thing
[02:02.62] You can linger too long in your dreams
[02:06.17]
[02:07.86] Say goodbye to the oldies but goodies
[02:11.60]
[02:13.91] Cause the good ole days weren't always good
[02:16.59] And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
[02:19.46] Learned stickball as a formal education
[02:20.10]
[02:24.71] Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose O.K.
[02:27.96]
[02:29.02] Oh... I heard about sex but not enough
[02:32.27] I found you could dance and still look tough anyway
[02:34.51]
[02:37.28] Oh yes I did
[02:40.65] I found out a man ain't just being macho
[02:45.89] Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food
[02:48.45] Drank a lot of take-home pay
[02:51.26] I thought I was the Duke of Earl
[02:53.57] When I made it with a red-haired girl in the Chevrolet
[02:55.87]
[02:58.93] Oh yeah...
[03:01.11] We were keeping the faith
[03:04.67] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Keeping the faith
[03:11.97] Oh...
[03:28.26] You know the good ole days weren't always good
[03:30.81] And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
[03:33.75] Now I told you my reasons for the whole revival
[03:38.93] Now I'm going outside to have an ice cold beer in the shade
[03:43.35] Oh... I'm going to listen to my 45's
[03:44.05]
[03:46.54] Ain't it wonderful to be alive
[03:48.66] When the rock 'n' roll plays, yeah...
[03:53.84] When the memory stays, yeah...
[03:59.28] I'm keeping the faith
[04:02.65] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Keeping the faith
[04:05.39]
[04:09.89] I'm keeping the faith
[04:12.89] Yes I am
[04:14.76] You know I'm keeping the faith, yes I am
[04:18.69]
[04:20.06] You know I'm keeping the faith
[04:22.62] ......
