Keeping The Faith lyrics

If it seems like
I've been lost in
let's remember

If you think
I'm feeling older
and missing
my younger days

Ooh then you should
have 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 thatthe wild boys
were my friends

Ooh 'cause I never felt
the desire

Until their music
set me on fire
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

Iridescent socks
with the same
colour 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

Oh 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

Oh I combed my hair
in a pompadour

Like the rest of
the Romeos wore
a permanent wave
yeah

That's why I'm
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 lose okay

Oh I heard about s*x
but not enough

I found you could
dance and still look
tough any way

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
oh yeah

That's why I'm
keeping the faith
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
keeping the faith

Woah oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh

Woah oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh

Woah oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh

You know the
good ole days
weren't always good
and tomorrow ain't
as bad as it seems

Now I told you
my reasons
for the whole revival

Now I'm going outside
to have an ice cold beer
in the shade

Ooh I'm going to listen
to my 45's

Ain't it wonderful
to be alive
when the
rock 'n' roll plays
yeah

And when the
memory stays...
yeah

That's why I'm
keeping the faith
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
keeping the faith

I'm keeping the faith

Yes I am
you know I'm
keeping the faith
oh yes I am

You know I'm
keeping the faith
oh you know I will

Woah I'm keeping
the faith
