Joe Diffie - Back To The Cave lyrics

The whole thing started at the dawn of man

He was sitting on a rock with a club in his hand

The very first time he laid eyes on her

She was dressed to kill in a saber-tooth fur

The hadn't invented any words to say

But he asked her in a primitive way

Do you want to go back to the cave

Back to the cave make a little fire

A man and a woman and a primal desire

That's the way it is that's the way it was

Before he made the wheel man was making love

A million years later in a Texas bar

A cowboy's listening to steel guitar

When she says hi my name's Irene

She's wearing bright red ropers and tight blue jeans

His eyes light up and his brain goes dim

He tries to be cool but she hears him say

You want to go back to the cave

Back to the cave make a little fire

A man and a woman and a primal desire

That's the way it is that's the way it was

Before he made the wheel man was making love

So you be Wilma and I'll be Fred

We'll throw the cat out the window put the kids to bed

Take a little trip through history

Do what's always come naturally

In the time machine at the end of the hall

We can be a couple of Neanderthals

Do you want to go back to the cave

Back to the cave make a little fire

A man and a woman and a primal desire

That's the way it is that's the way it was

Before he made the wheel man was making love

Don't blame us for the way we behave

The only way we know goes back to the cave

It's been done instinctively

Through pre-history

The road to the future

Leads back to the cave
