[00:11.80]If it seems like I’ve been lost in let’s remember
[00:17.30]If you think I’m feeling older and missing my younger days
[00:21.70]Oh, then you should have known me much better
[00:25.10]Cause my past is something that never
[00:27.40]Got in my way
[00:30.20]Oh... No
[00:32.95]Still I would not be here now if I never had the hunger
[00:38.40]And I’m not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends
[00:42.80]Oh... Cause I never felt the desire
[00:46.00]Till their music set me on fire
[00:48.55]And then I was saved, yeah...
[00:53.35]That’s why I’m keeping the faith
[00:57.00]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...Keeping the faith
[01:02.00]
[01:05.05]We wore matador boots only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
[01:10.35]Iridescent socks with the same color shirt and a tight pair of chinos
[01:15.35]Oh... I put on my shark skin jacket
[01:18.00]You know the kind with the velvet collar
[01:20.65]And ditty-bop shades
[01:23.30]Oh yeah...
[01:26.15]I took a fresh pack of Luckies and a mint called Sen-Sen
[01:31.40]My old man’s Trojans and his Old Spice after shave
[01:35.75]Oh... Combed my hair in a pompadour
[01:39.20]Like the rest of the Romeos wore
[01:41.50]A permanent wave, Yeah...
[01:46.45]We were keeping the faith
[01:50.15]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Keeping the faith
[01:54.50]
[01:57.20]You can get just so much from a good thing
[02:02.30]You can linger too long in your dreams
[02:07.50]Say goodbye to the oldies but goodies
[02:13.60]Cause the good ole days weren’t always good
[02:16.40]And tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems
[02:19.10]Learned stickball as a formal education
[02:24.15]Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose O.K.
[02:28.50]Oh... I heard about sex but not enough
[02:32.20]I found you could dance and still look tough anyway
[02:36.90]Oh yes I did
[02:40.20]I found out a man ain’t just being macho
[02:45.40]Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food
[02:48.30]Drank a lot of take-home pay
[02:50.70]I thought I was the Duke of Earl
[02:53.10]When I made it with a red-haired girl in the Chevrolet
[02:58.40]Oh yeah...
[03:00.50]We were keeping the faith
[03:04.00]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Keeping the faith
[03:08.00]
[03:11.50]Oh...
[03:27.60]You know the good ole days weren’t always good
[03:30.50]And tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems
[03:33.40]Now I told you my reasons for the whole revival
[03:38.10]Now I’m going outside to have an ice cold beer in the shade
[03:42.50]Oh... I’m going to listen to my 45’s
[03:45.80]Ain’t it wonderful to be alive
[03:47.80]When the rock ’n’ roll plays, yeah...
[03:53.00]When the memory stays, yeah...
[03:58.40]I’m keeping the faith
[04:01.80]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Keeping the faith
[04:09.00]I’m keeping the faith
[04:12.00]Yes I am
[04:13.90]You know I’m keeping the faith, yes I am
[04:19.10]You know I’m keeping the faith
