(tom petty and jeff lynne)
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
gonna 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
[chorus:]
hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
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
hey baby there ain't no easy way out
hey i will stand my ground
and i won't back down
no, i won't back down |
