Tom Petty: "there ain't no easy way out"

                                                           I thought I was done, I thought I could just leave what I'd written and slip away ... .    I had to run a few errands and while I was out some new shit 'arrived' .

                                What follows is the complete lyrics of tom Petty's "Won't Back Down" off his "Full Moon Fever" CD .   It has been rolling about my Braine "like a BB in a boxcar", and I can't seem to rid myself of its relentless sting .   It SEEMS especially poignant this morning, you guys know why .

                                                    "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

                                                 

                                                      Gonna 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

                                                        Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

                                                         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

                                                       repeat chorus .
