If it seems like I`ve been lostIn let`s rememberIf you think
I`m feeling older
And missing my younger daysOh, then you should have knownMe much better
Cause my past is something that neverGot in my wayOh no
Still I would not be here nowIf I never had the hungerAnd I`m
not ashamed to say
The wild boys were my friendsOhCause I never felt the desire
`Til their music set me on fireAnd then I was saved, yeah
That`s why I`m keeping the faithYeah, yeah, yeah, yeahKeeping the faith
We wore matador bootsOnly Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirtAnd a tight pair of chinosOh
I put on my shark skin jacketYou know the kind with the velvet collar
And ditty-bop shadesOh yeahI took a fresh pack of Luckies
And a mint called Sen-SenMy old man`s TrojansAnd his Old Spice
after shaveOh
Combed my hair in a pompadourLike the rest of the Romeos woreA
permanent wave
YeahWe were keeping the faithYeah, yeah, yeah, yeahKeeping the faith
You can get just so muchFrom a good thingYou can linger too longIn
your dreams
Say goodbye to theOldies but goodiesCause the good ole days weren`tAlways
good
And tomorrow ain`t as bad as it seemsLearned stickball as a formal
education
Lost a lot of fightsBut it taught me how to lose O.K.OhI heard about sex
But not enoughI found you could danceAnd still look tough anywayOh
yes I did
I found out a man ain`t just being macho
Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in foodDrank a lot of take-home pay
I thought I was the Duke of EarlWhen I made it with a red-haired girl
In the ChevroletOh yeahWe were keeping the faithYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faithYou know the good ole days weren`tAlways good
And tomorrow ain`t as bad as it seemsNow I told you my reasons
For the whole revivalNow I`m going outside to haveAn ice cold
beer in the shade
OhI`m going to listen to my 45`sAin`t it wonderful to be alive
When the rock `n` roll playsYeahWhen the memory staysYeahI`m
keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahKeeping the faithI`m keeping the faithYes I am
