Karaoké Keeping the Faith Billy Joel

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

'Cos 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 'cos I never felt the desire 'till their music set me on fire and then I was saved yes

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 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

'Cos 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 ok

Oh 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

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

You know the good ole days weren't always good

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 forty-five'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 oh yes I am

You know I'm keeping the faith oh yes I am

I'm keeping the faith oh yeah
