Goodbye Earl lyrics
by Dixie Chicks
Mary Ann and Wanda were the best of friendsAll through their high school daysBoth members of the 4H clubBoth active in the FFAAfter graduation Mary Ann went out lookin' for a bright new worldWanda looked all around this town and all she found was EarlWell it wasn't two weeks after she got married thatWanda started gettin' abusedShe put on dark glasses and long sleeve blousesAnd make-up to cover a bruiseWell she finally got the nerve to file for divorceShe let the law take it from thereBut Earl walked right through that restraining orderAnd put her in intensive careRight away Mary Ann flew in from AtlantaOn a red eye midnight flightShe held Wanda's hand and they worked out a planAnd it didn't take them long to decide That Earl had to dieGoodbye EarlIt's just black-eyed peasThey tasted alright to meEarl, you feelin' weak?Why don't you lay down and sleepEarl ain't it darkWrapped up in that tarp EarlThe cops came by to bring Earl inThey searched the house high and lowThen they tipped their hats and said 'thankyou ladies if you hear from him let us know'Well the weeks went by andSpring turned to summerAnd summer faded into fallAnd it turns out he was a missingperson who nobody missed at allSo the girls bought some land and a roadside standOut on highway 109They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jamAnd they don't lose any sleep at night 'causeEarl had to dieGoodnight EarlWe need a breakLet's go out to the lake EarlWe'll pack a lunchAnd stuff you in the trunk EarlWell is that all rightGood let's go for a rideEarl heyWell hey, hey, heyAw, hey, hey, heyWell, hey, hey, hey
