Ants on a log
   A
Floatin down a river

Runnin around
                  D
But not gettin anywhere

Our steerin wheels
               A
Just ain't connected
        G                    D
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
  G                   D
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
        G                        A
We're really just along for the ride like
 E         D
ants on a log

I got an uncle

He plays a game
 A
Can't win it

He's got a mold
                            D
Tries to fit everybody else in it

When's he gonna learn he's bangin his head
        G
on the wall?
    A
He ain't gonna change
                                    E
And he looks at me strange when I tell him
        A                 D
We're all just ants on a log
   A
Floatin down a river

Runnin around
                   D
But not gettin anywhere

Steerin wheels
               A
Just ain't connected
        G                    D
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
  G                   D
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
  G                              A
We're really just along for the ride like

We all know people
                               A
We yell at the cars and the traffic

Folks in a hurry
                               D
Life's full of heartache and havok

I finally learned how to lay back and let
       G
life happen
A
I just imagine

The angels up in heaven
  E                      A
Lookin down at us and laughin
              D
At ants on a log
   A
Floatin down a river

Runnin around
                  D
But not gettin anywhere

Our steerin wheels
               A
Just ain't connected
        G
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
 D
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
  G                              A
We're really just along for the ride like
 E         D
ants on a log
 G
And just about the time you think
                   D
You're rollin in clover
  E
Along comes a rabbit
                    A
And the world tips over
           D
Ants on a log
  A
Floatin down a river

Runnin around
                  D
But not gettin anywhere

Our steerin wheel
               A
Just ain't connected
        G                    D
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
