Well, he traded in his dumb old four For a new smart car with 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 Darnedest thing I've ever seen That old redneck is done gone green Down the road old man McGuire You know he runs his house on the solar power Now his lights are brighter than music plays Sort of dark and quiet on the cloudy days Yeah, it's the little things we take for granted When we sacrifice to save the planet Darnedest thing I've ever seen That old redneck is 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 X right in the news We got strung out on that black dinosaur juice Well, not long ago someone told me 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 Darnedest thing I've ever seen My redneck world is done gone green Old redneck place is done gone green
