I Won't Back Down
Tom & Heartbreakers Petty Lyrics

Well, I won't back down
I refuse to surrender or give in.

No, I won't back down
I am resolute and determined in my decision.

You can stand me up at the gates of hell
Even in the most dire circumstances, I won't give up.

But I won't back down
I'm committed to standing firm in my beliefs.

No, I'll stand my ground
I won't be swayed or influenced by others.

Won't be turned around
I won't let anything divert me from my purpose.

And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
I won't let the world get me down or defeat me.

Gonna stand my ground
I will hold fast to my convictions.

Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out
The situation I'm facing isn't easy, but I won't retreat.

And I won't back down
I am tenacious and won't give up.

(I won't back down)
Reaffirming my unwavering stance.

Well I know what's right
I'm confident in my convictions and beliefs.

I got just one life
I have a limited amount of time on this earth, so I must make the most of it.

In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
Despite the challenges and obstacles, I won't be swayed.

But I'll stand my ground
I will remain steadfast in my position.

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Again, this won't be an easy task, but I won't back down.

(I won't back down)
Further emphasizing my determination to persevere.

And I won't back down
Once again, I won't give up.

Hey, I won't back down
I will remain resolute in my stance.

(I won't back down)
Repeating my commitment to hold firm.

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
I acknowledge that the path ahead will be difficult.

(I won't back down)
Restating my refusal to surrender.

Hey, I will stand my ground
Once again, I will maintain my position and hold firm.

And I won't back down
Finally, I won't be broken or defeated.

No, I won't back down
I am steadfast and unyielding.
