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 looking |
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 getting 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 Atlanta |
On a red eye midnight flight |
She held Wanda’s hand as they |
Worked out a plan |
And it didn’t take long to decide |
That Earl had to die |
Goodbye Earl |
You’re feeling weak |
Why don’t you lay down |
And sleep 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 |
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 |
Let’s go out to the lake, Earl |
We’ll pack a lunch |
And stuff you in the trunk, Earl |
Well is that all right |
Good, let’s go for a ride, Earl |
