(Donnie Van Zant/ Johnny Van Zant/Robert Gay)



If you're feeling down and out

About the dues you been paying

This old world is gettin' harder

To face every day

Oh you better get off your pride

'Cuz there's no where left for you to hide

And it's gonna he hard 

Just to make it through another day.



Stand your ground

Don't ever let nobody hold you down

Stand your ground.



It takes a certain kind of man

To carry this load

But, if you want it all you got to do is try

So, get back on your feet

And get out on the street

Make something of yourself

It's time to be a man.



Stand your ground

Don't ever let nobody hold you down

Stand your ground

Don't ever let no one hold you down...
