Lyrics

Ahead of the Pack

You gotta take it easy

You gotta live your life

Yesterday's heroes

They are born to die

The people always blame you

It don't matter what they say

You've got your own freedom

You've gotta go your way

Get up and roll on

'Cause there is no future

And there'll be no past

Live for today

The going is going fast

Get up and roll on

Get up and go on

The going's going fast

You are

Ahead of the pack

Ahead of the pack

Never look back

'Cause you're ahead

Ahead of the pack

Don't you kill the feelings

Live to your heart

You're miles away

But you know where to start

Now you've got the muscle

To knock out a lie

'Cause you're ahead of the pack

No one will spit in your eye

Get up and roll on

Get up and go on

The going's going fast

You are

Ahead of the pack

Ahead of the pack

Never look back

'Cause you're ahead

Ahead of the pack

Ahead of the pack

Ahead of the pack

Never look back

Ahead of the pack

Ahead of the pack

Never look back

Ahead of the pack

Ahead of the pack
