Keeping the Faith

[00:11.43] If it seems like I've been lost in let's remember
[00:17.02] If you think I'm feeling older and missing my younger days
[00:21.12] Oh, then you should have known me much better
[00:24.45] 'Cause my past is something that never got in my way
[00:29.87] Oh, no
[00:32.22] Still I would not be here now if I never had the hunger
[00:37.32] And I'm not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends
[00:42.33] Oh, 'cause I never felt the desire
[00:45.21] To let music set me on fire
[00:48.17] And then I was saved, yeah
[00:53.52] That's why I'm keeping the faith
[00:56.33] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[00:59.04] Keeping the faith
[01:04.48] We wore matador boots
[01:05.95] Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
[01:10.30] Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
[01:13.25] And a tight pair of chinos
[01:15.69] Oh, I put on my shark skin jacket
[01:17.47] You know the kind with the velvet collar
[01:19.58] And ditty bop shades
[01:23.78] Oh, yeah
[01:26.41] I took a fresh pack of Luckies
[01:26.93] And a mint called Sen-Sen
[01:30.97] My old man's Trojans and his Old Spice after shave
[01:36.06] Oh, combed my hair in a pompadour
[01:39.06] Like the rest of the Romeos wore
[01:41.11] A permanent wave, yeah
[01:46.24] We were keeping the faith
[01:50.42] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[01:52.37] Keeping the faith
[01:57.42] You can get just so much from a good thing
[02:02.45] You can linger too long in your dreams
[02:07.58] Say goodbye to the oldies but goodies
[02:13.63] 'Cause the good ole days weren't always good
[02:16.90] And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
[02:19.25] Learned stickball as a formal education
[02:24.57] Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose ok
[02:29.01] Oh, I heard about sex but not enough
[02:32.88] I found you could dance and still look tough anyway
[02:37.07] Oh, yes I did
[02:40.50] I found out a man ain't just being macho
[02:45.82] Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food
[02:48.30] Drank a lot of take home pay
[02:51.03] I thought I was the Duke of Earl
[02:53.19] When I made it with a red haired girl
[02:55.26] In the Chevrolet, oh yeah
[03:01.23] We were keeping the faith
[03:04.94] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[03:06.96] Keeping the faith
[03:08.82]
[03:28.00] You know the good ole days weren't always good
[03:31.42] And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
[03:34.15] I told you my reasons for the whole revival
[03:38.81] Now I'm going outside to have an ice cold beer in the shade
[03:43.15] Oh, I'm going to listen to my 45's
[03:46.43] Ain't it wonderful to be alive when the rock n' roll plays, yeah
[03:53.98] When the memory stays, yeah
[03:59.52] I'm keeping the faith
[04:03.13] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[04:05.32] I'm keeping the faith
[04:10.14] I'm keeping the faith
[04:12.81] Yes I am
[04:15.25] You know I'm keeping the faith, oh yes I am
[04:20.39] You know I'm keeping the faith
[04:22.71] Oh, you know I am
[04:25.59] I'm keeping the faith, oh yeah
[04:30.28]
