Ants On A Log lyrics

(Skip Ewing/Donny Kees)

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
