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
