Goodbye Earl

Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4H Club
Both active in the FFA
After graduation Mary Anne went out
lookin for a bright new world
Wanda looked all around this town
and all she found was Earl
Well it wasnt two weeks after she got married
that Wanda started gettin abused
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
And make-up to cover a 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 Mary Anne flew in from Atalnta
On a red eye midnight flight
She held Wandas hand
as they worked out a plan And it didnt take long to decided
That Earl had to die
Goodbye Earl
Those black-eyed peas
They tasted all right to me
Why dont you lay down and sleep Earl
Aint it dark
Wrapped up in that tarp Earl
The cops came to bring Earl in
They searched the house high and low
Then they tipped their 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 Fall
And it turns out he was a missing person
who nobody missed at all
So the girls bouth some land
and a roadside stand
Out on Highway 109
They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jame
And they don t lose any sleep at night
cause Earl had to die
Goodbye Earl
We need abreak
Lets go out to the lake Earl
Well pack a lunch
And stuff you in the trunk Earl
Well is that all right
Good Lets go for a ride
Earl hey
Hey........
