Well he traded in his dumb old Ford |
|
For a new smart car with an extension cord |
|
Now he's saving gas and got a cheaper note |
|
But he's got no way to haul his boat |
|
It's the little things we take for granted |
|
When we sacrifice to save the planet |
|
The darndest thing I've ever seen |
|
That old redneck has done gone green |
|
Down the road, old man McGower |
|
You know he runs his house on the solar power |
|
Now his lights are bright and the music plays |
|
Sort of dark and quiet on the cloudy days |
|
It's the little things we take for granted |
|
When we sacrifice to save the planet |
|
The darndest thing you've ever seen |
|
This old redneck has done gone green |
|
The life we knew is coming to a halt |
|
Sad but true, and it's our own fault |
|
We put our own crimson necks right in the noose |
|
We got strung out on that black dinosaur juice |
|
Not long ago someone told me |
|
To quit using paper, stop killing trees |
|
She said soon there won't be no more books |
|
I swear to God on a stack of nooks |
|
It's the little things we take for granted |
|
When we sacrifice to save the planet |
|
The darndest thing I've ever seen |
|
My redneck world has done gone green |
|
The whole dang place has done gone green |
