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 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 Luckies
  And a mint called Sen-Sen
  My old man's 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 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 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 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
  We were keeping the faith
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  Keeping the faith
  
  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
  
  Oh
  I'm going to listen to my 45's
  Ain't it wonderful to be alive
  When the rock 'n' 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
