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-hoh then
You shoulda
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-hoh 'cause
I never felt
The desire
Till the 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
lridescent 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
Hoh 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
Hoh...combed my hair
In a pompadour
Like the rest of
The Romeos wore
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 Iose O. K.
Hoh... 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
Yeah
We were keeping
The faith
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Keeping the faith
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
You know the
Good ole days
Weren't always good
Tomorrow
Ain't as bad
As it seems
Told you my reasons
For the whole revival
Now I'm going outside
To have an
lce cold beer
In the shade
Hoh... I'm gonna
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
Keepin' the faith
Oh yes I am!
You know I'm
Keepin' the faith
Oh yes I am
You know I'm
Keepin' the faith
Yes I am!...
