Send "I Won't Back Down" Ringtone to Cell

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 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, 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
No, I won't back down

    General Comment:I think we all have something in our lives we aren't willing to compromise about, wether it's love, selfrespect or something else. We may be weak and full of doubt, but when it comes the things we hold close to our heart, we won't back down.
