Backup Plan
written: B. Leadon
I don't have a backup plan
Both feet in and take a stand
I play ina gypsy band
And I don't have a backup planOne foot in and one foot out
Used to be what I'm about
Now standing on these shifting sands
I don't have a backup planI knew a man in my hometown
Three times took the marriage vows
Three times wed and three times split
Said "At least I'm willing to commit"I been afraid to really live
Really take and really give
I want to be a full-grown man
And I don't have a backup planMore than nine score years ago
My forebears left their emerald home
Hope sailed west in the setting sun
'Til they new their new world had begunI don't have a backup plan
Both feet in and take a stand
I put on a wedding band
And I don't have a backup planI gave you a wedding band
And I don't have a backup plan
