“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.
Gonna 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.
Hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out,
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.
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.”
– Tom Petty, “I Won’t Back Down.”
