ants on a log

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
