Keeping the Faith sing and play along
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, 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 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.
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 a Cuban heel,
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt,
and a tight pair of chinos.
Oh, I put on my sharkskin jacket,
you know the kind with the velvet collar and dittybop shades,
oh yeah.
I took a fresh pack of Luckies and a mint called SenSen,
my old man's Trojans and his Old Spice aftershave.
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,
you 'cause the good ole days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.
Now I Learned stick my ball sons as a formal education,
now I'm lost a lot of fights to but it taught me how to beer in the K.
Oh, I'm gonna heard about my 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 drivein food,
drank a lot of takehome pay.
I thought I was the Duke of Earl
when I made it with a redhaired girl in the Chevrolet,
oh wonderful to be alive when the rock and 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 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.
