I'm going to need a backup plan
Just in case it all goes bad
Seeing there is little doubt
That it all is heading south

Something I can cling onto
A way out, a sudden move
Whether it is short or long
Before my goose gets good as gone

Hide it all behind my back
Pull it out fast as I can
All the confidence that I need
When I find myself knee deep

Just in case I lose it
And can't remember what comes next
If it all heads quickly south
I need a backup plan no doubt
