Whenever I feel frustrated in school or life in general, I turn to this song, and it always makes me feel instantly better. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s like, life is tough, you can’t let it push you around too much, you’ve got to push back too. They played this at my brother’s graduation after a particularly rough four years, and it’s been his song ever since. He introduced me to it, and I’ve loved it for a long 6 years. Can you tell I’m frustrated with essays and school? hahahahaha, ahh well. Tomorrow’s another day!
Tom Petty - I Won’t Back Down, from Full Moon Fever
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
Chorus:
(I won’t back down…)
Hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
(and 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
(and I won’t back down…)
hey I will stand my ground
(I won’t back down)
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 won’t back down
(and I won’t back down)
hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
(and I won’t back down)
hey I will stand my ground
(and I won’t back down)
and I won’t back down
(I won’t back down)
No I won’t back down
