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

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 / And 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 / And I won’t back down / No, I won’t back down
