Ants on a Log

(Skip Ewing/Donny Kees)



Ants on a log

Floatin' down a river

Runnin' around

But not gettin' anywhere

Power stearin' 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 wrong



We're all just ants on a log

Floatin' down a river

Runnin' around

But not gettin' anywhere

Power stearin' 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 yell at 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

Power stearin' 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 stearin' 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...
