  • 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 Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
