3 Doors Down - Duck And Run Lyrics






To this world I'm unimportant
Just because I have nothing to give
So you call this your free country
Tell me why it cost so much to live
Tell me why
This world can turn me down
But I won’t turn away, oh no
I won’t turn around
All my work and endless measures
Never seem to get me very far
Walk a mile just to move an inch
Now even though I'm trying so damn hard
I'm trying so hard
This world can turn me down but I
Won’t turn away
And I won’t duck and run, cause
I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there is
Nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I'm already here, oh no!
I am already here,
Down on my knees
I am already here, on no, I am
Already here
I must have told you a thousand times,
I am not running away
I won’t duck and run
I won’t duck and run
I won’t duck and run
No pass away
This world can turn me down but I
Won’t turn away
And I won’t duck and run, cause
I'm not built that way
When everything is gone
There is nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I'm already here
This world can turn me down
But I won’t turn away
And I won’t duck and run
Cause I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there
Is nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I'm already here

  1. J.... P....

    This band is ass. But outstanding song

  2. J.... P....

    I'm a music snob(were suppose to make fun of bands like 3DD.)
    But I'm sorry, since day I first heard this song twenty years ago I thought it was bad ass.

  3. D.... ....

    masterpiece!

  4. S.... W....

    This song was my fight song & it helped me quit herion..2 1/2 years clean..great song

  5. K.... S....

    Almost forgot how much I like three doors down.

  6. H.... H....

    The boys were raised in Mississippi a very poverty stricken state, yet they had the option thanks to the constitution to make the American dream come true!

  7. B.... ....

    It's sad to see the clips of the band partying in this video and knowing that Matt Roberts (the lead guitarist) was struggling with the fame and having anxiety with crowds. RIP

  8. i.... ....

    As a dream I would want to get into the UFC. And if I ever got to a high profile fight for a title this would be my song. Because I don't duck and run. Sounds cringy but what dream isn't?

  9. S.... ....

    I’m guessing it’s not a coincidence that the published date forged it’s way from 10/7/09 to 10/6/09 in the last 48 hours*. *Commented on 10/30/19

  10. d.... t....

    I love this band but hate this song because of the one Line where they decided to dis on America

  11. B.... Z....

    mmm duck and rum

  12. B.... O....

    MY LIFE'S THEME SONG!💪

  13. c.... ....

    This was the very last song I heard on the radio before the world changed 9/11/2001. “This world can turn me down, but I won’t turn away, but I won’t duck and run, ‘cause I’m not built that way....”

  14. J.... J....

    This video reminds me of my 20’s rolling around with my brothers band... good times

  15. A.... R....

    If this video had been uploaded in today's feminazi/snowflake society, people would loose it over the chicks throwing themselves at them.

  16. D.... D....

    3 doors down was such a great band but thanks to this new generation they dont listen to music like this because is old

  17. J.... K....

    ✨♥️✨

  37. T.... R....

    As they sing about having nothing and being at the bottom they flash images of all the rich perverted lustful things they enjoy, while you stupid fanatics think they care a thing about you. Nothing new or of importance in this song, move along...

    R.... ....

    RT060789 unfortunately there was no guitar changes, so they had a limited number of songs. Was only a 15 min set.

  77. F.... S....

    I have always liked them and now I like them even more !!!

  81. t.... ....

    KILLER song!! they should sing this at Trump Inaugural!

    t.... ....

    How about actually debunking what she said?

    t.... ....

    mysti rayne Hes wants to keep illegal immigrants out you uneducated wash up, look up the southern Mexican border you fool

    t.... ....

    mysti rayne It might be easier for others to understand what you are talking about if u took a few moments 2 proof read your post before posting it. FYI

    t.... ....

    Duncan Kelly why does anybody have to debunk the liberal b.s. talking point. It's called illegal immigration for a reason. It's illegal also known as a crime. If an immigrant wants to come to the USA legally and assimilate into our culture I'd be happy as a clam for them.

    t.... ....

    @mysti rayneignorance seems to be your strong suit

  82. E.... G....

    maybe they'll play this song on inauguration day

  83. l.... r....

  88. M.... H....

    When this album was doing the rounds this was my favorite song off of it. And that's saying something because I still love "Loser" and "Kryptonite."

  89. T.... G....

    I lost my wife and kids over mistake

    T.... G....

    Theo, we all make mistakes in life. The important thing is to learn from our mistakes and make amends if needed. God has helped me get thru the worst times of my life, and He will do the same for you. I say the Serenity Prayer every day, adding "I pray only for knowledge of Your will for me and the power to carry that out." You'll be OK.

    T.... G....
