Lyric Goodbye Earl - Dixie Chicks

Lyric Song 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 graduatin Mary Anne went out
lookin for a bright new world
Wanda looked all around this town
and all she found was Earl

Well it wasn t two weeks
after she got married that
Wanda started gettin abused
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
and makeup 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 Atlanta
on a red eye midnight flight
She held Wanda s hand as they
worked out a planand it didn t take em long to decide
that Earl had to die

Goodbye Earl
Those black eyed peas
they tasted all right to me Earl
You re feelin weak
Why don t you lay down and sleep Earl
Ain t 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 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 bought some land
and a roadside stand out on Highway 109
They sell Tennessee 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
