Letra I Wont Back Down

La canción I Wont Back Down, escrita por Tom Petty y Jeff Lynne, es una de las canciones más emblemáticas de Petty. Fue inspirada después de que un incendio provocado por un incendiario destruyera su casa en 1987. Petty utilizó la canción como un vehículo para recuperar su sentido de determinación.

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 stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I 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
And I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I 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


Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey, 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
