Lyrics
Well, I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down
Gonna stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
I'm 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 (know what's right)
I got just one life (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
And I won't back down
No, 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 will stand my ground
(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
Won't back down
Yeah, yeah, oh-woah-oh
