Randy Travis Ants On A Log Lyrics

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
