Keeping The Faith (Live At Shea, 2008)

[00:12.05] If it seems like I've been lost
[00:15.15] In let's remember
[00:17.98] If you think I'm feeling older
[00:19.63] And missing my younger days
[00:22.53] Oh, then you should have known
[00:24.63] Me much better
[00:26.09] Cause my past is something that never
[00:28.14] Got in my way
[00:31.21] Oh no
[00:33.53] Still I would not be here now
[00:36.24] If I never had the hunger
[00:38.49] And I'm not ashamed to say
[00:40.88] The wild boys were my friends
[00:42.66] Oh
[00:44.60] Cause I never felt the desire
[00:47.03] 'Til their music set me on fire
[00:49.27] And then I was saved, yeah
[00:53.97] That's why I'm keeping the faith
[00:57.75] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[01:00.54] Keeping the faith
[01:02.06] We wore matador boots
[01:07.14] Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
[01:10.51] Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
[01:13.66] And a tight pair of chinos
[01:15.97] Oh
[01:16.51] I put on my shark skin jacket
[01:18.39] You know the kind with the velvet collar
[01:21.35] And ditty-bop shades
[01:24.21] Oh yeah
[01:25.63] I took a fresh pack of Luckies
[01:27.91] And a mint called Sen-Sen
[01:32.17] My old man's Trojans
[01:34.10] And his Old Spice after shave
[01:36.69] Oh
[01:37.39] Combed my hair in a pompadour
[01:39.83] Like the rest of the Romeos wore
[01:42.54] A permanent wave
[01:45.48] Yeah
[01:46.65] We were keeping the faith
[01:50.25] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[01:53.21] Keeping the faith
[01:54.80] You can get just so much
[02:00.03] From a good thing
[02:02.49] You can linger too long
[02:05.86] In your dreams
[02:07.72] Say goodbye to the
[02:10.71] Oldies but goodies
[02:13.42] Cause the good ole days weren't
[02:16.10] Always good
[02:17.48] And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
[02:20.25] Learned stickball as a formal education
[02:25.35] Lost a lot of fights
[02:26.71] But it taught me how to lose O.K.
[02:29.76] Oh
[02:30.71] I heard about sex
[02:31.88] But not enough
[02:32.96] I found you could dance
[02:34.79] And still look tough anyway
[02:37.74] Oh yes I did
[02:40.69] I found out a man ain't just being macho
[02:45.72] Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food
[02:49.35] Drank a lot of take-home pay
[02:51.56] I thought I was the Duke of Earl
[02:53.81] When I made it with a red-haired girl
[02:56.36] In the Chevrolet
[02:59.16] Oh yeah
[03:00.84] We were keeping the faith
[03:02.99] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[03:06.45] Keeping the faith
[03:16.29] You know the good ole days weren't
[03:30.13] Always good
[03:31.05] And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
[03:33.58] Now I told you my reasons
[03:35.06] For the whole revival
[03:38.93] Now I'm going outside to have
[03:40.14] An ice cold beer in the shade
[03:43.48] Oh
[03:44.25] I'm going to listen to my 45's
[03:46.65] Ain't it wonderful to be alive
[03:49.18] When the rock 'n' roll plays
[03:51.73] Yeah
[03:53.81] When the memory stays
[03:56.91] Yeah
[03:58.94] I'm keeping the faith
[04:02.16] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[04:04.93] Keeping the faith
[04:10.13] I'm keeping the faith
[04:12.94] Yes I am
[04:49.22]
