Lyrics
"I Won't Back Down"
Well, I won't back down
No I won't back down
You could 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
Hey baby
There ain't no easy way out (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
Hey baby
There ain't no easy way out (I won't back down)
Hey I will stand my ground (I won't back down)
And 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
Hey baby
There ain't no easy way out (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)
No I won't back down

Don't forget the 2001 GGD cover of 'American Girl' at the MSG Concert for America. And Johnny does a cover of 'For Your Love' that equals the Yardbirds original.

[@cat_mama6767]

Sorry, Concert for NYC

American Girl used to be their standard encore when they first got big. It's also on Live in Buffalo.

Johnny’s voice as powerfully emotive as always. He always captures the soul of a song in his vocals. 💜 beautiful

[@karenburrell2283]

Totally!

[@michdcdabs5640]

Agreee..he never aged .

[@danielwolf1673]

Almost always when I hear a remake, I roll my eyes because rarely does the remake fulfill the greatness of the original, but from the first chord, it was clear that this remake not only honored the original but also succeeded in becoming something separate and amazing.

[@johnathanlast825]

D@)pi

[@victoriasutton8340]

100% agree there.

[@JustinTrenholm]

John Rzeznik and the Goo Goo Dolls are criminally underated. My wife and I saw them on tour years ago with Matchbox Twenty, and we both fell in love with the simplicity yet beauty of the song "Come To Me" So much so it was our 1st dance at our wedding!!

[@aeaemom]

​@@JustinTrenholm we saw that same tour and you are correct...Goo Goo Dolls are extremely underrated! Johnny's voice is incredible. And I've loved O. A. R since I heard Shattered. Great combo here.

[@chrispricephotography]

I gotta say I agree wholeheartedly on this. I if given the choice between the cover and the original, I would never choose about 95% of covers over their original counterparts. If you aren't going to bring some serious energy to do the song "right" (ex. Disturbed's cover of Simon and Garfunkel) or at least put your indelibly memorable personal touch on it (ex. Johnny Cash's cover of NIN,) then just stay out of the studio on that one. That being said, If you're into the Goo Goo Dolls, they have a pretty solid cover of InXS' "Don't Change".

[@blondiek8934]

WOW!!! YES!! YES!! YES!! TWO OF MY FAVORITES COVER ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITES WOW TOM PETTY WOULD BE SO PROUD. 10/10 ✨🏆✨( No Phoenix tour date tho!? )

[@me-ge7im]

Tom Petty was one of my very favorites growing up all thru high school and beyond .... He was on my bucket list to see. I was suppose to go to the last concert he did in San Diego, but something came up and i had to cancel. I was super bummed. Then 1 week later I had the news on and they announced his death and I went into complete shock. I have never forgiven myself for missing that concert. Today i stumbled upon this accidentally. I was curious but worried they would change it like so many do with remakes. I stayed open minded and watched the video. I love both of these bands and not just anybody can do a Tom Petty song the way "he did it" . This was done with much love for their fellow musician and dear friend. You can feel the love and determination as you watch the video of all that went into making it perfect. As I smiled i got a little choked up, & thought to myself..... Tom Petty is looking down and giving that smile with the nod he would give when he liked the way a song turned out. Those of you who knew and and loved him know what I'm talking about. He is definitely saying "YES !" to this remake. FANTASTIC JOB GUYS!

[@jenniferziff2196]

Thank u made my entire day as I walk to work on this glorious beautiful day. Big love to all

[@Jade_902]

Tom is in Heaven looking down and is so proud 🥲 ❤

[@Kendif333]

WOW just heard today on the radio, and wondered who was singing this song that I love and it was told that was a Goo Goo Dolls version from this Tom Petty's classic. Awesome ! I was watching the video and it's written March 23rd, my birthday !!! Another great cover from Goo goo Dolls, Give a little bit from Supertramp was great as well. Tom Petty must be proud of this great job, I simply loved it.

[@rosalind4444]

Can we talk about how cool BOTH of the leather jackets are? This song sounds sooo good. Robby’s bass sounds great.

[@vincegillmuslc]

Having fans like you is a constant reminder of why I do what I do. Your unwavering support has given me the strength to pursue my passion and create art that resonates with people like yourself. Your presence at concerts, your kind messages, and your unwavering belief in me have been a source of motivation and inspiration throughout my journey.
