I Won’t Back Down
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’ll 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
(I won’t back down)
Hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
(I won’t back down)
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
(I won’t back down)
Hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
(I won’t back down)
Hey I will stand my ground
(I won’t back down)
Hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
(I won’t back down)
Hey I won’t back down
(I won’t back down)
Hey, baby, there ain’t no easy way out
(I won’t back down)
I will stand my ground
And I won’t back down
No I won’t back down

Now I believe Tom Petty wrote this because some bullies burnt his house down .Good on him ! As it is national non bulling day here is one I wrote about my experience being bullied.

I believe you are right — I heard something about that on NPR when they were doing a retrospective after his death. People did burn down his house, I think he was still young, but I’m not sure of the reason.

I just googled it and apparently it was definitely arson but no suspects were ever found … Most strange
