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 yell at 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
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
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
Yeah we're really just along for the ride like ants on a log
