Don’t Back Down Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen

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 running scared, look around, there's nothing there
And you ain′t got the strength and your friends all just stall on you
Well, along 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 understand
Just stand on up, yeah, stand up and shout it, girl

Don't back down, don′t back down
Don't back down, don′t back down on me
Don't back down, don′t back down
Don't back down, don't back down, baby


Now, you see all the ones worn out and you′re tired
Fool and broken down by the wayside
With two hearts call out for hire
Filled with hurt, defeated by their foolish pride
Girl, you hear the sound of a one passing down
And you don′t think that these days you can make it, babe
Just step on up, I'll give you a hand
And if you ain′t got a problem now, maybe we can shake it, baby

Don't back down, don′t back down
Don't back down, don′t back down, baby
Don't back down, don't back down
Don′t back down, don′t back down, baby
Don't back down, don′t
Baby, don't back down, don′t
Baby, don't back down, don′t
Na, na, yeah

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 running scared, look around, there's nothing there
And you ain′t got the strength and your friends all just stall on you
Well, along 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 understand if you need a helping hand
Baby, don′t be afraid, just stand up and shout it, girl


Don't back down, don′t back down
Don't back down, don't back down on me
Don′t back down, don′t back down
Don't back down, don′t back down on me
Don't back down, don′t back down
Don't back down, don′t back down, baby
Don't back down, don't back down
Don′t back down, don′t back down, baby

Don't back down, don′t back down
Don't back down, don′t back down, baby
Don't back down, don′t back down
Don't back down, don't back down
Don′t back down
