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

Theyre 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...
