Billy Joel Keeping the Faith Lyrics:
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 yeahI 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 faithYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith
You can get just so much
From a good thing
You can linger too longIn 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 enoughI 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 faithYou know the
good ole days weren't
Always good And tomorrow
ain't as bad as it seemsNow 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
