Keeping The Faith (Live 2006 At Madison Square Garden, New York, Ny) - Billy Joel

作词：Billy Joel

作曲：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 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

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 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

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 ass 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

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

I'm keeping the faith

Yes I am

I'm keeping the faith

I'm keeping the faith

keeping the faith

keeping the faith

the faith the faith the faith

the faith
