YOUR BACKUP PLAN
Words & Music by Tom Richardson © All Rights Reserved

You had it all worked out so sweetly,
The cars and the kids and pickets lined up so neatly.
And it was all so orchestrated,
But unfortunately ill-fated,
Looks like you need a backup plan.

I’ll be your backup plan
Good and ready.
I’m your backup plan.

Honey, you don’t ever have to be lonely.
You can do anything you want but own me.
So, if your situation changes,
And your life rearranges,
Just know I’m happy to be your backup plan.

I’m your backup plan
Deep down you know it
I’m your backup plan

If I had a dime for every time
One of my plans fell through, then
Sure, I’d be rich but not as rich
Honey if I were your backup plan

You can count on me as long as you need to
And when it’s time to say goodbye, feel free to.
Have no concern for me, I can take it.
No pleasantries, I can fake it.
Please consider me your backup plan.

I’m your backup plan
Always will be
I’m your backup plan
Good and ready
I’m your backup plan
