Between Unchained and the recording of this album, Cash’s...
[Verse 1]
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 dragging 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
[Verse 2]
Well, I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushing me around
But I 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
[Outro]
No, I won't back down
