[Chorus]
Ants on a log
Floatin' down a river
Runnin' around
But not gettin' anywhere
Our steering wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like fleas 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

[Verse 1]
I got an uncle, he plays a game and 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

[Chorus]
Just ants on a log
Floatin' down a river
Runnin' around
But not gettin' anywhere
Our steering wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like fleas 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
[Verse 2]
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 imagine the angels up in heaven
Lookin' down at us and laughin'

[Chorus]
At ants on a log
Floatin' down a river
Runnin' around
But not gettin' anywhere
Our steering wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like fleas 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

[Bridge]
Oh, and just about the time you think you're rollin' in clover
Along comes a rabbit, and the world tips over

[Outro]
Ants on a log
Floatin' down a river
Runnin' around
But never gettin' anywhere
Our steering wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like fleas 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
(Ooh)
