Gone Green

Well he traded in his dumb old Ford
For a new smart car with an extension cord
Now hes saving gas and got a cheaper note
But hes got no way to haul his boat
Its the little things we take for granted
When we sacrifice to save the planet
The darndest thing Ive 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
Its the little things we take for granted
When we sacrifice to save the planet
The darndest thing youve ever seen
This old redneck has done gone green
The life we knew is coming to a halt
Sad but true, and its 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 wont be no more books
I swear to God on a stack of nooks
Its the little things we take for granted
When we sacrifice to save the planet
The darndest thing Ive ever seen
My redneck world has done gone green
The whole dang place has done gone green
