Alan Ladd - Ants on a Log Lyrics

Ants on a log
Floating down a river
Running around
But not getting anywhere
Power steering 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 mould, tries to fit everybody else in it
When's he gonna learn he's banging 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

Floating down a river
Running around but not getting anywhere
Power steering 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 in 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 can just imagine, angels up in heaven
Looking down at us and laughing, at ants on a log

Floating down a river
Running around but not getting anywhere
Power steering 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 rolling in clover
Along comes a rapid
And the world tips over, ants on a log

Floating down a river
Running around but not getting anywhere
Power steering 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
