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

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

Sorta dark and quiet on the cloudy days


The life we knew is coming to a halt

Its sad but true and its our own fault

We put our own crimson necks right in the noose

When we got strung out on that black dinosaur juice


Well 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

Darndest thing Ive ever seen

My redneck world has done gone green

The whole dang place has done gone green
