Lyrics

Keeping the Fire Alive
Verse One
It was the summer of 78 , our band was smokin’ hot
Our music was everything to us, it was taking us to the top
Record deals, guitars and girls we talked about em’ night and day
When we heard our songs on the radio
We thought that we were on our way
We were living the dream, Keeping the Fire Alive
Living the dream, Keeping the Fire Alive
Verse Two
Somehow those dreams just disappeared, lost upon the wind
We all went our separate ways never wanting it to end
Now Gary’s on the west coast playing in a country band
The rest are scattered everywhere,
Who knows when I’ll see them again
Oh, we were living the dream, Keeping the Fire Alive
Yeah living the dream, Keeping the Fire Alive
Bridge
Sometimes it’s hard to realize
What you’ve got until it’s gone
You gotta face the fact it ain’t coming back
And all you can do is move on
Verse Three
When I think back to those times, now I can truly see
Back then I never realized just what they meant to me
When my mind drifts back in time
To when I was stepping on the stage
The drummer counts off and away we went,
That will never fade away
We were living the dream, Keeping the Fire Alive
Living the dream, Keeping the Fire Alive
