Dixie Chicks - Goodbye Earl

Maryanne and Wanda were the best of friends, all through their highschool days

both members of the four H club, both active in the FFA

After graduation Maryanne went out, looking for a bright new world

Wanda looked all around this town, and all she found was Earl

Well it wasn't 2 weeks after she got married that Wanda started getting abused

She put on dark glasses, and long sleeved blouses, and makeup to cover her bruise

Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce, she let the law take it from there

But Earl walked right through that restraining order, and put her in intensive care

Right away Maryanne flew in from atlanta on a red eye, midnight flight

She held Wanda's hand, and they worked out a plan, and it didn't take them long to dicide

That Earl had to die...

Goodbye Earl

Those black eyed peas, they tasted alright to me, Earl

You feelin' week? Why don't you lay down and sleep, Earl

Aint it dark, wrapped up in that tarp, Earl?

The cops came by to bring earl in, they searched the house high and low

Then they tipped thier hats and said thank you ladies, if you hear from him, let us know

well, the weeks went by and spring turned to summer and summer faded into the fall

and it turns out he was a missin person who nobody missed at all

so the girls bought some land at a road side stand, down on highway 109

they sell tennesee ham and strawberry jam, and they don't lose any sleep at night

Cause Earl had to die...

Goodbye Earl

We need a break...

Lets go out to the lake Earl

We'll pack a lunch, and stuff you in the trunk, Earl

Is that alright? Good! Lets go for a ride, Earl. Hey!

Well, hey hey hey!

Aww hey hey hey!

Well, hey hey hey
