The girls dig the way the guys get all wiped out
With their feet in the air you can hear ´em shout
They´re not afraid (don´t back down, don´t back down)
Not my boys (don´t back down, don´t back down)
They grit their teeth, (a-oo) they don´t back down

Don´t back down
You gotta be a little nuts
Don´t back down
But show ´em now who´s got guts
Don´t back down
Don´t back down from that wave

With their feet full of tar and their hair full of sand
The boys know the beach like the palm of their hand
They´re not afraid (don´t back down, don´t back down)
Not my boys (don´t back down, don´t back down)
They grit their teeth (a-oo) they don´t back down

Don´t back down
You gotta be a little nuts
Don´t back down
But show ´em now who´s got guts
Don´t back down
Don´t back down from that wave

When a twenty-footer sneaks up like a ton of lead
And the crest comes along and slaps ´em upside the head
They´re not afraid (don´t back down, don´t back down)
Not my boys (Don´t back down, don´t back down)
They grit their teeth (a-oo) they don´t back down

Don´t back down
You gotta be a little nuts
Don´t back down
But show ´em now who´s got guts
Don´t back down
Don´t back down from that wave

Don´t back down...
