Ants on a log

Floatin' down a river

Runnin' around

But not gettin' anywhere

Powersteerin' 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

Powersteerin' 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 havoc

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

Powersteerin' 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 steer 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
