Ants on a log Floatin down a river Runnin around But not gettin anywhere Powerstearin wheels Just ain't connected And we can't jump off like flees on a dog Can't fly away like flies on a hog We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log I got an uncle He plays a game Can't win it He's got a mold Tries to fit everybody else in it When's he gonna learn he's bangin his head on the wall? He ain't gonna change And he looks at me strange when I tell him We're all just ants on a log Floatin down a river Runnin around But not gettin anywhere Powerstearin wheels Just ain't connected And we can't jump off like flees on a dog Can't fly away like flies on a hog We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log We all know people We yella t the cars and the traffic Folks in a hurry Life's full of heartache and havok I finally learned how to lay back and let life happen I just image the angels up in heaven lookin down at us and laughin At ants on a log Floatin down a river Runnin around But not gettin anywhere Powerstearin wheels Just ain't connected And we can't jump off like flees on a dog Can't fly away like flies on a hog We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log And just about the time you think You're rollin in clover Along comes a rabbit And the world tips over Ants on a log Floatin down a river Runnin around But not gettin anywhere Power stear wheels Just ain't connected And we can't jump off like flees on a dog Can't fly away like flies on a hog We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log Yeah we're really just along for the ride like ants on a log
