Things were very quiet back there
You really ought to 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 going upfront
Out in front
Leaving 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

Nothing 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
Leaving 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
When the living is high
And the loving is free and easy
Every star in the sky is shining for me

Upfront, out in front
Leaving 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
