If it seems like I've been lost in let's remember |
|
If you think I'm feeling older and missing my younger days |
|
Oh, then you should have known me much better |
|
Cause my past is something that never |
|
Got in my way |
|
Oh... No |
|
Still I would not be here now if I never had the hunger |
|
And I'm not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends |
|
Oh... Cause I never felt the desire |
|
Till their music set me on fire |
|
And then I was saved, yeah... |
|
That's why I'm keeping the faith |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...Keeping the faith |
|
We wore matador boots only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel |
|
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt and a tight pair of chinos |
|
Oh... I put on my shark skin jacket |
|
You know the kind with the velvet collar |
|
And ditty-bop shades |
|
Oh yeah... |
|
I took a fresh pack of Luckies and a mint called Sen-Sen |
|
My old man's Trojans and his Old Spice after shave |
|
Oh... Combed my hair in a pompadour |
|
Like the rest of the Romeos wore |
|
A permanent wave, Yeah... |
|
We were keeping the faith |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Keeping the faith |
|
You can get just so much from a good thing |
|
You can linger too long in your dreams |
|
Say goodbye to the oldies but goodies |
|
Cause the good ole days weren't always good |
|
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems |
|
Learned stickball as a formal education |
|
Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose O.K. |
|
Oh... I heard about sex but not enough |
|
I found you could dance and still look tough anyway |
|
Oh yes I did |
|
I found out a man ain't just being macho |
|
Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food |
|
Drank a lot of take-home pay |
|
I thought I was the Duke of Earl |
|
When I made it with a red-haired girl in the Chevrolet |
|
Oh yeah... |
|
We were keeping the faith |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Keeping the faith |
|
Oh... |
|
You know the good ole days weren't always good |
|
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems |
|
Now I told you my reasons for the whole revival |
|
Now I'm going outside to have an ice cold beer in the shade |
|
Oh... I'm going to listen to my 45's |
|
Ain't it wonderful to be alive |
|
When the rock 'n' roll plays, yeah... |
|
When the memory stays, yeah... |
|
I'm keeping the faith |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Keeping the faith |
|
I'm keeping the faith |
|
Yes I am |
|
You know I'm keeping the faith, yes I am |
|
You know I'm keeping the faith |
|
