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
