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 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 Atlanta
On a red eye midnight flight
She held Wanda's hand as they worked out a plan
And it didn't take 'em long to decide
horus
That Earl had to die Goodbye Earl
You're feelin' weak why don't you lay down and sleep 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
That 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
horus
Cause Earl had to die Goodbye Earl
We need a break. Let's go out to the lake Earl
We'll pack a lunch. Stuff you into the trunk Earl
Well is that all right. Good let's go for a ride Earl. Hey!
