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
ohh 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
ohh
`cause I never felt the desire until their music set me on fire
and the I was saved, yeah
that`s why I`m keeping the faith
yeah yeah yeah yeah
keeping the faith
we wore old matador boot
only Flagg brothers had the with a heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt and a tight pair of chinos
ohh yea
I put on my shark skin jacket you know the kind with the velvet collar and the
ditty-bop shades
oh yea
I took and fresh pack of luckies and a mint called Sen-sen
My old man`s Trojans and hid old spice after shave
oh
combed my hair the a pompadour like the rest of the Romeo`s wore
a permanent wave
yea
we were keeping the faith
yea yea yea yea
keeping the faith
you can get so much of a good thing
you can linger too long in your dreams
say good-bye to the oldies but goodies
`cause the good ole days weren`t always good
and tomorrow isn`t as bad as it seems
learned stick ball as a formal education
lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose OK
yea
I heard about sex but not enough
I found you could dance and still look tough anyways
oh yes I did
I found out a man ain`t just being mucho
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 a
Chevrolet
oh yea
we were keeping the faith
yea yea yea yea
keeping the faith
you know the good ole days weren`t always good
and tomorrow isn`t as bad as it seems
I told you my reasons for my 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
