Backup Plan

So your back's backed up against the wall

And the bandwagon's fallen right off

And you're hearing all the talk about

"Maybe you should think about whatcha gonna do if it don't work out"

It ain't about if it makes sense

'Cause if the boot do, it don't fit

As far as I can see, there ain't no way to be somebody if you're just gon' quit

So if you got a fire, don't lose it

If you got a do-or-die dream, do it

If you got something to prove, go on 'n' prove it

Don't let nobody clip your wings

Keep your head down, keep on the blinders

Tune out the doubters and all the closed-minders

If it's in your blood, falling down ain't enough to change who you were born to be

And gettin' back up, that's the only backup plan you need

Well, life's got a lotta sticks 'n' stones

And a blade that'll cut you to the bone

But if you're doing what you love and it kills you

Well, you can live with that all day long

So if you got a fire, don't lose it

If you got a do-or-die dream, do it

If you got something to prove, go on 'n' prove it

Don't let nobody clip your wings

Keep your head down, keep on the blinders

Tune out the doubters and all the closed-minders

If it's in your blood, falling down ain't enough to change who you were born to be

Gettin' back up, that's the only backup plan you need

So if you got a fire, don't lose it

If you got a do-or-die dream, do it

If you got something to prove, go on 'n' prove it

Don't let nobody clip your wings

Keep your head down, keep on the blinders

Tune out the doubters and all the closed-minders

If it's in your blood, falling down ain't enough to change who you were born to be

And gettin' back up, that's the only backup plan you need

Yeah, gettin' back up, that's the only backup plan you need
