If it seems like Ive been lost
In lets remember
If you think Im 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
Oh no

Still I would not be here now
If I never had the hunger
And Im not ashamed to say
The wild boys were my friends
Oh
Cause I never felt the desire
til their music set me on fire
And then I was saved, yeah
Thats why Im 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 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
Oh yeah
I took a fresh pack of luckys
And a mint called sen-sen
My old mans trojans
And his old spice after shave
Oh
Combed my hair in a pompadour
Like the rest of the romeos wore
A 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 werent
Always good
And tomorrow aint as bad as it seems

Learned stickball as a formal education
Lost a lot of fights
But it taught me how to lose o.k.
Oh
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 aint 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
We were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith

You know the good ole days werent
Always good
And tomorrow aint as bad as it seems

Now I told you my reasons
For the whole revival
Now Im going outside to have
An ice cold beer in the shade
Oh
Im going to listen to my 45s
Aint it wonderful to be alive
When the rock n roll plays
Yeah
When the memory stays
Yeah
Im keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith
Im keeping the faith
Yes I am
