Won't Back Down

 

 At this time of history, the world has turned upside down, taken some wobbles, and now we must continue to stay strong in what we believe. Information is garbled, depending on the journalist's point of view.  Either we go along with that, or we examine what is true and what is not true.

Tom Petty, I won't back down

I miss Tom Petty.

Over his career, I have listened to his songs, heard what he was singing. Now I am understanding what he was saying.

                              I will stand by you, Rascal Flatts

          Where do I stand in these scary times? I will Stand my ground, and I won't back down.          

                                            

What about you?  Stand your ground?

                               

                                         

      

And I won't back down....

 

Tom Petty was a talented, successful recording artist who died too young. This is one of my favorite songs. 

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
(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
(I won't back down)
Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I will stand…

Facing down the enemy (whoever that may be), standing up to face them, this is a timely song. I enjoy his talent, sadly gone.
