I Won’t Back Down (Tom Petty Cover) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I won't back down
Hey baby‚ there ain't no easy way out
I won't back down, yeah
And  I stand my ground
And I won't back down

[Verse 2]
Well I know what's right
And 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

[Chorus]
I won't back down
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
I won't back down‚ yeah
I will stand my ground
And I won't back down
[Verse 2]
Well I know what's right
And 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
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 [?]
