Randy Travis - Ants on a Log lyrics

rate me

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 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

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 rapid

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
