I Won’t Back Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No, 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
I'm gonna stand my ground
I 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
I will stand my ground
And I won't back down

[Verse 2]
Well, I know what's right
'Cause I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down

[Chorus]
Hey, baby
There ain't no easy way out
Hey, I
I will stand my ground
And I won't back down
[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
And I said hey, baby
There ain't no easy way out
Hey, I
I will stand my ground
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
No, I won't back down

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
