Lyrics

Well, I won't back down No I won't back down You could stand me up at the gates of Hell But I won't back down No I'll stand my ground Won't be turned around And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down Gonna stand my ground And I won't back down (I won't back down) Hey baby There ain't no easy way out (I won't back down) Hey I will stand my ground And I won't back down Well, I know what's right I got just one life In a world that keeps on pushin' me around But I'll stand my ground And I won't back down (I won't back down) Hey baby There ain't no easy way out (I won't back down) Hey I will stand my ground (I won't back down) And I won't back down (I won't back down) Hey baby There ain't no easy way out (I won't back down) Hey I won't back down (I won't back down) Hey baby There ain't no easy way out (I won't back down) Hey I will stand my ground (I won't back down) And I won't back down (I won't back down) No I won't back down
