Lyrics
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...
