[00:11.30]If it seems like I've been lost in let's remember
[00:16.80]If you think I'm feeling older and missing my younger days
[00:21.20]Oh, then you should have known me much better
[00:24.60]Cause my past is something that never
[00:26.90]Got in my way
[00:29.70]Oh... No
[00:32.45]Still I would not be here now if I never had the hunger
[00:37.90]And I'm not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends
[00:42.30]Oh... Cause I never felt the desire
[00:45.50]Till their music set me on fire
[00:48.05]And then I was saved, yeah...
[00:52.85]That's why I'm keeping the faith
[00:56.50]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...Keeping the faith
[01:01.50]
[01:04.55]We wore matador boots only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
[01:09.85]Iridescent socks with the same color shirt and a tight pair of chinos
[01:14.85]Oh... I put on my shark skin jacket
[01:17.50]You know the kind with the velvet collar
[01:20.15]And ditty-bop shades
[01:22.80]Oh yeah...
[01:25.65]I took a fresh pack of Luckies and a mint called Sen-Sen
[01:30.90]My old man's Trojans and his Old Spice after shave
[01:35.25]Oh... Combed my hair in a pompadour
[01:38.70]Like the rest of the Romeos wore
[01:41.00]A permanent wave, Yeah...
[01:45.95]We were keeping the faith
[01:49.65]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Keeping the faith
[01:54.00]
[01:56.70]You can get just so much from a good thing
[02:01.80]You can linger too long in your dreams
[02:07.00]Say goodbye to the oldies but goodies
[02:13.10]Cause the good ole days weren't always good
[02:15.90]And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
[02:18.60]Learned stickball as a formal education
[02:23.65]Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose O.K.
[02:28.00]Oh... I heard about sex but not enough
[02:31.70]I found you could dance and still look tough anyway
[02:36.40]Oh yes I did
[02:39.70]I found out a man ain't just being macho
[02:44.90]Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food
[02:47.80]Drank a lot of take-home pay
[02:50.20]I thought I was the Duke of Earl
[02:52.60]When I made it with a red-haired girl in the Chevrolet
[02:57.90]Oh yeah...
[03:00.00]We were keeping the faith
[03:03.50]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Keeping the faith
[03:07.50]
[03:11.00]Oh...
[03:27.10]You know the good ole days weren't always good
[03:30.00]And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
[03:32.90]Now I told you my reasons for the whole revival
[03:37.60]Now I'm going outside to have an ice cold beer in the shade
[03:42.00]Oh... I'm going to listen to my 45's
[03:45.30]Ain't it wonderful to be alive
[03:47.30]When the rock 'n' roll plays, yeah...
[03:52.50]When the memory stays, yeah...
[03:57.90]I'm keeping the faith
[04:01.30]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Keeping the faith
[04:08.50]I'm keeping the faith
[04:11.50]Yes I am
[04:13.40]You know I'm keeping the faith, yes I am
[04:18.60]You know I'm keeping the faith
[04:22.50]......
