Back To The Cave Lyrics - Joe Diffie

Well, the whole thing started at the dawn of man 

He was sittin' 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 

They hadn't invented any words to say 

But he asked her in a primitive way 

Do you wanna 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 

'Fore he made the wheel, man was makin' love 

A million years later in a Texas bar 

A cowboy's listenin' to a steel guitar 

When she says, "Hi, my name's Irene" 

She's wearin' 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 wanna 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 

'Fore he made the wheel, man was makin' 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 wanna 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 

'Fore he made the wheel, man was makin' 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 

Back to the cave, back to the cave 

Back to the cave
