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

 Chorus:
 (I won't back down...)
 Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
 (and 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
 (and 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
 (and I won't back down)
 hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
 (and I won't back down)
 hey I will stand my ground
 (and I won't back down)
 and I won't back down
 (I won't back down)
 No I won't back down
