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 surf 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
