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
