Artist: Randy Travis Album: Full Circle (1996) Title: Ants on a Log
Lyrics Ants on a Log(Skip Ewing/Donny Kees)
Ants on a log Floatin' down a river Runnin' around But not gettin' anywhere Power stearin' 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 wrong
We're all just ants on a log Floatin' down a river Runnin' around But not gettin' anywhere Power stearin' 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 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 Power stearin' 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 Power stearin' 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... |
