Lyrics Keeping the Faith (12" version) - Billy Joel
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
somethin'
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
Till
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
old
matador
boots
Only
Flagg
Brothers
had
them
with
a
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
aftershave
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
okay
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
a
Chevrolet,
oh
yeah
We
were
keeping
the
faith
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
keeping
the
faith
Oh,
oh,
oh
You
know
the
good
ole
days
weren't
always
good
And
tomorrow
ain′t
as
bad
as
it
seems
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
You
know
I'm
keeping
the
faith
You
know
I'm
keeping
the
faith
