Gone Green

[Verse 1]

Well, he traded in his dumb ol' 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

[Chorus]

It’s the little things we take for granted

When we sacrifice to save the planet

Darndest thing I’ve ever seen

That old redneck has done gone green

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

It’s the little things we take for granted

When we sacrifice to save the planet

Durndest thing you’ve ever seen

This old redneck has done gone green

[Bridge]

The life we knew is coming to a halt

’S 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

[Verse 3]

Well, 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

[Chorus]

It’s the little things we take for granted

When we sacrifice to save the planet

Darndest thing I’ve ever seen

My redneck world has done gone green

The whole dang place has done gone green
