AUDIO: ‘This Man Won’t Stand Down’
“This Man Won’t Stand Down” is fresh from the studio oven. This is one of my personal favorite Albert Perrone tunes. Click ‘More’ for lyrics and details.He sings lead vocals and is joined in the last quarter of the song by the BrotherSisters on triplet harmony which briefly breaks into a two-part round. Al and Doug are on the guitars. | douglas imbrogno

THIS MAN WON’T STAND DOWN
by Albert Perrone | music & lyrics copyright 2012 Albert Perrone and The BrotherSisters ©
This man won’t stand down.
This man won’t stand down.
I can feel the crosshairs aimed straight at your chest.
And I might take the hit for you if I think that’s best.
Now don’t get me wrong I’m not tryin’ to raise myself above the rest.
The chances I take come from faith rest assured I have proof.
Cause if it’s a matter of my freedom you better prepare for the truth.
(BREAK)
I stand here naked alone with my baggage in my hand.
Cause it’s got to be better than living a lie or hiding my head in the sand.
Freedom comes hard
and always at a very high price.
If I could go back and change the past don’t you know
I wouldn’t think twice.
We all have regrets and sins but you know how that goes.
So don’t buy into revenge every soul pays what it owes.
(BREAK)
I stand here naked alone with my baggage in my hand.
Cause it’s got to be better than living a lie or hiding my head in the sand.
I stand here naked alone…
Cause it’s got to be better…
This man won’t stand down.
This man won’t stand down.
This man won’t stand down.
This man won’t stand down.
