Things were very quiet, back there

You really oughtta try it, back there

But when you think youve had enough

Its come the time to pack your stuff and go

I know

I know Im goin upfront, out in front

Leavin everyone behind, got to see what I can find

Upfront

Upfront, out in front, I was always meant to be

There for all the world to see

Upfront

Nothin but beginners, back there

They never heard of winners, back there

They laughed at all my crazy schemes

They told me to forget my dreams and stay

No way

The way to go is upfront, out in front

Leavin everyone behind, got to see what I can find

Upfront

Upfront, out in front, I was always meant to be

There for all the world to see

Where the livin is high

And the lovin is free and easy

Every star in the sky is shinin for me, for me

Upfront, out in front,

Leavin everyone behind, got to see what I can find upfront

Upfront, out in front, I was always meant to be

There for all the world to see
