I Won't Back Down Lyrics

Well i won't back down, no i won't back down
You could 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

Chorus
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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
