gone green

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
