Randy Travis - Ants On A Log lyrics

ants on a log Floatin' down a river Runnin' around But not gettin' anywhere Our steerin' 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 He 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 that i think we're all Just ants on a log Floatin' down a river Runnin' around But not gettin' anywhere Our steerin' 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 Who 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 Our steerin' 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 never gettin' anywhere Our steerin' 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
