JOEL BILLY - Keeping The Faith lyrics
rate meIf it seems like I've been lost<br>In let's remember<br>If you think I'm feeling older<br>And missing my younger days<br>Oh, then you should have known<br>Me much better<br>Cause my past is something that never<br>Got in my way<br>Oh no<br><br>Still I would not be here now<br>If I never had the hunger<br>And I'm not ashamed to say<br>The wild boys were my friends<br>Oh<br>Cause I never felt the desire<br>'til their music set me on fire<br>And then I was saved, yeah<br>That's why I'm keeping the faith<br>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah<br>Keeping the faith<br><br>We wore matador boots<br>Only flagg brothers had them with the cuban heel<br>Iridescent socks with the same color shirt<br>And a tight pair of chinos<br>Oh<br>I put on my shark skin jacket<br>You know the kind with the velvet collar<br>And ditty-bop shades<br>Oh yeah<br>I took a fresh pack of luckys<br>And a mint called sen-sen<br>My old man's trojans<br>And his old spice after shave<br>Oh<br>Combed my hair in a pompadour<br>Like the rest of the romeos wore<br>A permanent wave<br>Yeah<br>We were keeping the faith<br>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah<br>Keeping the faith<br><br>You can get just so much<br>From a good thing<br>You can linger too long<br>In your dreams<br>Say goodbye to the<br>Oldies but goodies<br>Cause the good ole days weren't<br>Always good<br>And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems<br><br>Learned stickball as a formal education<br>Lost a lot of fights<br>But it taught me how to lose o.k.<br>Oh<br>I heard about sex<br>But not enough<br>I found you could dance<br>And still look tough anyway<br>Oh yes I did<br>I found out a man ain't just being macho<br>Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food<br>Drank a lot of take-home pay<br>I thought I was the duke of earl<br>When I made it with a red-haired girl<br>In the chevrolet<br>Oh yeah<br>We were keeping the faith<br>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah<br>Keeping the faith<br><br>You know the good ole days weren't<br>Always good<br>And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems<br><br>Now I told you my reasons<br>For the whole revival<br>Now I'm going outside to have<br>An ice cold beer in the shade<br>Oh<br>I'm going to listen to my 45's<br>Ain't it wonderful to be alive<br>When the rock 'n' roll plays<br>Yeah<br>When the memory stays<br>Yeah<br>I'm keeping the faith<br>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah<br>Keeping the faith<br>I'm keeping the faith<br>Yes I am
