WHEN THE NIGHT WIND RUSTLES FAR AWAY
ROLLING DOWN THE CONNA VALLEY THROUGH THE COTTONWOOD TREES
AND THE RIVER IS RISEN WITH LAST YEAR'S RAIN
I AWAKE IN THE DARKNESS AND I CALL YOUR NAME
DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN
I LIE AWAKE AND I KNOW SLEEP WON'T COME SOON
SO I WATCH THE HEADLIGHTS CRAWL UP AND DOWN THE WALL OF THE LONESOME ROOM
I THINK OF THAT CLUB BY THE RIVER WE DANCED ON AND ON
SWORE OUR LOVE WOULD LAST FOREVER AND YOU LAUGHED ON AND ON
DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN
YEAH I WANNA WEEP BUT I'M BROKEN INSIDE AND THE TEARS WON'T RUN
I WANT TO SLEEP BUT THERE AIN'T NO DREAM AND THE SLEEP WON'T COME
WHOA
LAST NIGHT I STOOD ON BLACK MOUNTAIN AND LOOKED OUT TO THE SEA
WHERE THE WATERS OF MYSTERY RIVER GO RUSHING ENDLESSLY
DON'T THROW AWAY THE LOVE WE KEPT FOR SO LONG, LONG, LONG
WHEN WE COME BACK LOOKING DARLING IT'LL BE GONE, GONE, GONE
DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN
BABY DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN
BABY DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN ON OUR LOVE
DON'T BACK DOWN
