Goodbye Earl Lyrics by Dixie Chicks

Goodbye Earl Lyrics

    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 wasn't 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 Wanda's hand as they
    worked out a plan
    And it didn't take long to decided

    That Earl had to die
    Goodbye Earl
    Those black-eyed peas
    They tasted all right to me Earl
    You're feeling weak
    Why don't you lay down
    and sleep Earl
    Ain't 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 al 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 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 hey
