Song title: Don't back down
Don't back down
If you’re out on your own, and you ain’t got a home
And it feels like the whole world’s just gonna fall on you
You’re just runnin’ scared
Look around, there’s nothin’ there
And ya’ ain’t got the strength
And your friends all just stall on you
Well, o’er comes a cloud, and you’re lost in the crowd
Once you thought you might make it
But, babe, these days you doubt it
If you need a hand, honey I under stand
Just stand on up, yeah, stand up and shout it girl
Don't back down (x8)
Now you see all the ones, worn out and tired
Theres a ___________ broken, down by the way side
With two hearts, call out for hire
Filled with hurt, be it by their foolish pride
You hear the sound of a-one passin’down
And you don’t think that these days you can make it, babe
Step on up, I’ll give you a hand
If you got a problem, well, I figure we can shake it, baby
Don't back down (x12)
If you’re out on your own, and you ain’t got a home
And it feels like the whole world’s just gonna fall on you
You’re just runnin’ scared
Look around, there’s nothin’ there
And ya’ ain’t got the strength
And your friends all just stall on you
Well, o’er comes a cloud, and you’re lost in the crowd
Once you thought you might make it babe
But, these days you doubt it
I under stand, if you need a helpin’ hand
Baby, don’t be afraid, just stand up and shout it girl Notes:
Many acoustic demos exist.
Don't back down - Other version
Well I know you're runnin' scared
Now I know you'll understand baby
A time comes and you just gotta
Gotta make a stand somewhere
And if you need a helpin' hand baby
There might be somethin' I can do about it now
If you need a helpin' hand
Darlin' don't you wait
Just stand up, stand up and shout now Notes:
