Things were very quiet, back there   You really oughtta try it, back there   But when you think you've had enough   It's come the time to pack your stuff and go   … I know…   I know I'm 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
